Arts
The Arts really has found a good home in Cavan
Music and drama like to take to the streets
Cavan presents three drama festivals annually: Shercock, Cavan and Maudabawn, while the eclectic Cavan Arts Festival takes place every May. Literature and a love of the spoken and written word is evidenced here as Cavan is home to many poets and writers.
Cavan is also host to two theatres – Ramor Theatre in Virginia and Townhall Cavan Arts Space in the historic Townhall building in Cavan town. www.cavanarts.ie
