Stendhal Festival is an annual celebration of music, art and creativity set in the rolling countryside of Northern Ireland's Roe Valley. Over three summer days, dozens of performers take to multiple stages and forest clearings, with live music from indie rock and folk to electronic beats and world rhythms, along with theatre, spoken-word and street art. There’s also an artisan market, craft workshops and family-friendly activities, so every visitor can shape their own unique experience. With a warm and inclusive atmosphere, Stendhal welcomes festival-goers of all ages.
By day you might wander through wooded trails to discover hidden performances or join a creative workshop with the kids. After dark, campfires crackle and impromptu jam sessions light up the fields under the stars. Local food stalls and craft booths keep you fed and entertained, while the beautiful green hills and ancient trees around you make it all feel like a magical getaway. Stendhal Festival is where community, creativity and nature come together in a laid-back summer weekend that leaves everyone feeling inspired and connected.
