Cullohill Comhaltas – Heart of the Community, Soul of the Festival

There’s something truly special about hearing traditional Irish music echo through the grounds of a 600-year-old castle — and few know how to capture that magic quite like Cullohill Comhaltas.

Returning once again to Folly Festival, this talented group of local musicians brought Nancy’s Yard to life during last year’s Daytime Events, delighting audiences young and old with reels, jigs, and timeless Irish airs.

Steeped in tradition and fuelled by the energy of our community, Cullohill Comhaltas embodies everything we love about Folly — connection, celebration, and culture. Their performances are a highlight of the festival, creating the perfect bridge between our past and present.

🎶 Don’t miss their return performance on Saturday, 5th July 2025, as part of our packed Daytime Events schedule in Nancy’s Yard. It’s a moment where history meets harmony, and tradition takes centre stage.

Whether you’re clapping along, dancing a step, or just soaking in the sounds, Cullohill Comhaltas guarantees an unforgettable slice of Irish heritage at the heart of the Folly Festival.

📍 Catch them from 2pm on Saturday in Nancy’s Yard — and be sure to explore the rest of the Daytime Events while you’re there!
