In Pictures: Out at about at the Allingham Festival in Ballyshannon

Our photographer Thomas Gallagher captured some of the people and events that helped make this year's festival special

This year's Allingham Festival was always going to be special as 2024 marked the 200th birthday of the Ballyshannon poet. Organisers and contributors put on a packed programme of fantastic events. There really was something for people of all ages, and the event was a wonderful celebration of William and Helen Allingham and their legacy.
