Bealtaine
Taking place in the month of May, Bealtaine is the annual nationwide festival celebrating the arts and creativity as we age. The national festival is run by Age & Opportunity, the national organisation that promotes active and engaged living as we get older.
Mayo County Council Arts Service runs an extensive Bealtaine programme, which includes workshops in various artistic disciplines, artist talks, performances in care settings, gallery tours, and a variety of other events.
The Arts Service has worked with Active Retirement Associations and other organisations for older people. All art forms have been covered over the various Bealtaine Programmes, including theatre, literature, dance, visual arts, circus and music.
