Culture Month 2026

 

Culture Month is our annual programme celebrating culture and heritage from Cushendun, Ireland and beyond.

Across the month of September we will be hosting a range of live music, interactive workshops, theatre, talks, and exhibitions. 

We are just putting the finishing touches on the programme, so mark your calendars and keep an eye out for updates coming soon! 

We are grateful to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council for supporting our programme again this year and look forward to your company at the Old Church Centre.
