There is simply no better place to be in Ireland in October than Wexford, when the town becomes a hive of cultural activity to celebrate the annual Wexford Festival Opera. Now in its 72nd year, Wexford Festival Opera continues to amaze and delight in equal measure, when operatic performers from all over the world convene at the National Opera House for two weeks of world-class opera.
The history and landscape of Hook Head, early life in Enniscorthy Castle, and a spoken word competition for teenagers are just some of the many events taking place in Co Wexford for Culture Night 2023. This year’s celebration of local culture takes place this coming Friday (September 22) and will feature a series of free events in all of the county’s five districts.
