Archaeology Festival
Deireadh Fómhair 2 - 4 October 2026
- Celebrating the heritage and history of Iveragh -
Join us 2nd -4th October for a weekend of fascinating talks, walks, exhibitions and workshops that focus on the archaeology, folklore, mythology, art and heritage of Iveragh. Events will take place along the Skellig Coast in south Kerry.
Programme
This year, many events are free to attend. However, the Skellig Coast Archaeology Festival depends on the volunteers from Caherdaniel Dark Sky Group and Heritage Iveragh. By purchasing tickets for certain events, you are enabling the festival to continue and supporting local community interest groups, which we appreciate very much. Míle buíochas. See you there!
