Inis Mór on the Aran Islands will be the venue for Ireland’s first post-pandemic festival - TedFest, the celebration of all things Father Ted.
TedFest runs from Thursday, March 3 to Sunday March 6 2022 as Inis Mór becomes ‘Craggy Island’ once more for a weekend of high-jinx and ecumenical craic, and given the last two years, surely no one will be protesting and holding up signs saying ‘Down with this sort of thing’.
Highlights will include the annual Lovely Girls Competition (expect lovely talents, lovely laughs, and cone walking ), Ted's Got Talent, Craggy Island’s fittest family, Matchmaking with Nellie, Priests Dance Off, The Pan Asian Zen-Off, the Father Ted Prizeless Quiz, the Craggy Cup, Blind Date, and more. Original cast members Fr Damo (Joe Rooney ) and Eoin McLove (Patrick McDonell ) will also attend.
The music line-up at TedFest and Trad for Trocaire is sure to bring out the dancing priests and raise money for a good cause that will not just ‘rest in our account’.
All activity will take place at the Aran Islands hotel on Inis Mor which has the space to accommodate the Music Stages, the Craggy Craic Den and full extended line-up.
Tickets are now available at www.tedfest.org and are selling fast. They are limited to the amount of accommodation available on the island.
