Local Festivals

The West Cork Music Festival will be held in Bantry from June 27th – July 6th, 2025.

The West Cork Chamber Music Festival includes concerts, masterclasses, talks and instrument making workshops.   The hundred or so invited musicians are without exception superb, the programming combines the challenging and the unknown with the familiar and the whole town is taken over for rehearsals.  There is also a fantastic ‘Fringe Festival’ with daily events all over the town.

Bantry House and St. Brendan’s Church are the main concert venues but all the venues have an intimacy that is vital for chamber music which creates a special community of musicians and music-lovers.  Bantry House itself is renowned for the atmosphere created in the candle-lit Library and the House’s extraordinarily beautiful setting at the head of Bantry Bay.  All events are within walking distance of the town, which enjoys a fantastic atmosphere all week.

The Maritime Hotel offers luxurious accommodation located in Bantry.
