Bealtaine Festival celebrates creativity in older age across Ireland from 1-31 May every year. The festival is committed to encouraging greater participation in and access to the Arts by older people, as artists, performers, event organisers or audience.  Since 1996 Bealtaine Festival organisers continued to create a network of partners and bring together diverse organisations and groups across sectors, united for a common creative purpose. The Bealtaine programme is jam-packed already with wonderful opportunities to engage and experience the Arts from singing on beaches at Dawn to re-discovering a hidden musical talent, going to the Bealtaine movie at your local cinema as part of the access CINEMA/IFI film tour or taking part in the  ‘Someone to go with’ initiative which pairs volunteers with socially isolated older people to share a bit of Bealtaine. Further information about the festival is available on the website www.bealtaine.com
