Proceedings came to a conclusion on Sunday as the third Annual Culmore Literary Festival closed with a celebration of poetry, music and afternoon tea. Events over the week saw a list of talented writers and poets who were born or have chosen Derry as their home, reflecting the ongoing love of words that we have, not just in Culmore but throughout the city. Capacity attendances turned up each night with local authors such as Sue Divin, Pat Bradley, Michael McCann, Feargal Friel and Jane Buckley playing their part in proceedings. Event organiser Philip O'Neill pictured with local poets Feargal Friel and Michael McCann, who shared their poetry at Saturday night's Culmore Literary Festival 2023 at the Culmore Community Hub.
