About
St Columb’s Cathedral is delighted to welcome you to the ‘Festival of Cloaks’ - a unique event comprising musical performances and workshops and featuring around 80 cloaks from civic and cultural organisations, churches and industry. We are especially pleased to have as our main attraction four cloaks, representing each of the four Irish provinces, which were created specially to mark the 1,500th anniversary of the death of St Brigid of Kildare. Almost one thousand people were involved in making them.
Featuring
Four Art works depicting St Brigid’s Cloaks, designed for the St Brigid’s 1500th Anniversary celebration
Musical performances from soloists, musicians, choirs etc
Lunchtime Organ Recitals every Thursday throughout July (1.10pm)
From 12th - 14th August, a small cloak will be woven in the workshops being run by ‘Wool in Schools’ who created the four cloaks of St Brigid.
