Candlelit Tales
‘We want to let these stories live again, and we need you to listen’
On April 27th Millstreet Culture and Wellbeing Association welcomes a very unique event to the Cultúrlann Newmarket,
Candlelit Tales are a storytelling group that specialise in immersive retelling of Irish myths and legends in the oral tradition, with live music to accompany and enhance every moment! The group were founded by Cork siblings Aron and Sorcha Hegarty.
The legends are told as they were written, they will make you laugh, maybe cry, and maybe even roar!
As we celebrate the Spring transforming into Summer, upon the eve of Bealtaine, Candlelit Tales will regale you with the old tale of the ‘Fury on the White Strand – the Battle of Ventry’.
Na Fianna were faced with a terrible fight against the King of the World, and his monstrous army. A tale with as many twists and turns as the southwest coastal roads around Dingle where this tale took place!
Tickets are available online at
Tickets can also be reserved by contacting 086 251 1812 or emailing <email>
Doors open at 7pm
If you would like to check out their podcasts, please listen here – https://candlelittales.ie/

Millstreet Library – Events for the week
Eily’s Report – 11th April
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to my weekly Report.
Greetings all and I wish you the very best as we head out on to the rest of the year. Religiously we are well prepared with the newly blessed palm hanging up beside the picture of the Sacred Heart where it replaced the withered specimen of last year. Withered or not the piece of Blessed Palm never fails to give us that feeling of security against fires and other calamities for the whole year. Our Easter ceremonies were beautiful very meaningful and very well attended. Easter brings Lent to a close and a time when Trocaire Boxes are filled and handed in where the proceeds will go to help the needy. It all helps to give us that ‘feel good’ when Lent is over.
