Now in it's fifteenth year and featuring traditional Irish music, song and dance with 10 days of concerts, ceilidhs, workshops, sessions and talks taking place from at least three different venues in the borough of Camden, North London.

This year sees the same format for Return to Camden Town Festival as last, with music and song events more concentrated over one long weekend and dance events on a separate weekend. From Friday 25th until Sunday 27th October: Concerts, sessions, music and song workshops and Friday 1st until Sunday 3rd November: Set Dancing, Céilí and dance workshops.

There will be more daytime as well as evening performances at the London Irish Centre on the music weekend as well as sessions and workshops - all corners of the venue will be a hive of activity from morning 'til night.

Line-up

Highlights include concert appearances by the John Carty Festival Band, Len Graham, Danny O’Mahony and Micheál O’Raghallaigh, album launch by Colm Gannon, premier screening of TG4’s documentary on Bryan Rooney, set dancing to the Star of Munster and McNamara Céilí Bands, set and sean nós tuition by Mick Mulkerrin and more.

Tickets

Ticket prices have not yet been announced and are not yet on sale.

Other venues

The Festival will continue to host some events in other offsite venues in Camden, enabling us to take the Festival into the early hours. So if you're a concert going dancer, this year you don't have to be torn between events - the Festival will host a separate weekend of dancing with the usual highest standard quality music and teaching.

Accommodation

This event does not have camping but there are a number of hotels, hostels and guest houses in the area.

More information will be here when available.
