The late Manchán Magan described Sunday Miscellany as “dispatches from a country brimming with soul”.  With a simple format of short essays, memoir pieces and the occasional poem interspersed by complementary music, this jewel in the RTÉ Radio 1 schedule attracts over 300,000 listeners every Sunday morning. It has been part of the lives of listeners for over half a century on Irish radio.

It features a spectrum of writing talent, from household names to outstanding new voices.

Since the programme’s first broadcast in 1968, it has built its own space for listeners to escape to on Sunday morning, with the very best of new writing insights delivered conversationally to the audience.

The show explores themes of Irish life, culture, and personal reflection, and offers a quiet and reflective space for listeners. The show’s success is evidenced by the large audience it commands and its 2023 Irish Book Award for a selection of its published pieces. The festival is thrilled to welcome Sunday Miscellany to Ennis for this special recording.

This event is now sold out.
