Athy came alive, as we, in partnership with the Shackleton Committee and the Shackleton Experience, welcomed visitors from across the globe to the Shackleton Autumn School and Fringe Festival.

This year's programme attracted visitors from all across the globe to Athy. Over the festival weekend, the town was transformed the town into a vibrant hub of heritage and culture, with panel discussions, exhibitions, live music and storytelling sessions. It was a jam-packed event filled with fun, community and food!
