That support has allowed the Festival to invest on an ongoing basis in improved facilities for the performing groups, improved comfort for the audience and to ensure that Mountmellick attracts the best of the touring drama groups bringing the best theatre for its festival every year. The success of the festival is evidenced in the annual increase in audience numbers coupled with the subsequent success of our performing groups at the All-Ireland finals each year. While monetary sponsorship is always important, the ongoing confidence of our community in the organising committee, as championed by the Credit Union solidarity is equally crucial to our ongoing development.

The confidence and support for the Festival across the business community is evidenced in the broad range of patrons and sponsors who return year after year to ensure we have the resources to hand to run a top-class event.
