About the Event

Join the Longford Writers’ Group for a spooky evening of adult-themed poetry and short stories.

Facilitator

Longford Writers Group

Longford Writers Group meet once a month in Longford Library where they share some of their work and have discussions about the various different aspects of writing from publishing to illustrating to competitions. The group have performed at many events over the years and have created some wonderful novellas and anthologies for both adults & children.  Some of it’s members have become very successful authors in their own right and some have won awards for their writing.

This event is kindly supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport under their After Hours at the Museum scheme.
