What is the Clonmacnois Youth Festival?
This is a lively 4 day festival with workshops, concert, inspiring talks, great music and prayer. And plenty of time for relaxing, chilling out and meeting new people! During the festival, you can get some spiritual R&R, meet other young Catholics in the same boat and give your faith a boost.
It takes place in Clonmacnois, Co Offaly from 4th – 7th August 2011. The theme for the festival is:
"Lord, it is wonderful for us to be here"
Matt 17:4

What is the age group?
The festival is for all young people aged 16-35. If you are over 35, this festival isn’t really for you although we do always need mature volunteers to help with the running of the festival. If you are interested in coming along to help in some way, please contact the Youth 2000 National Office on 01 6753690 to discuss the matter further - we look forward to hearing from you.
How will the Clonmacnois Festival be set up?
Like last year, the festival will be practically all marquee/tent based. We plan to turn the field into a veritable village for the four days with large marquees for talks, workshops, sleeping and catering.
 What will the accommodation be like?
All you need to bring is your sleeping bag and we will provide you with an air bed for sleeping on in several marquees. If you are over 18, you may bring your own tent and camp out! (separate tents for guys and gals please!). The marquees will be heated and there will be showers and toilets on site. There will be separate accommodation available for men and women. We would advise that you bring warm clothes and ear plugs! We recommend you don't bring expensive items such as your iPod or valuable jewellery.
Free buses
The will be free busses going to the festival from all around the country, details of which will be announced at a later date.
