About


SiarScéal is a historical, literary, bilingual festival hosted annually and inspired by the culture and heritage of County Roscommon. SiarScéal celebrates the lives and history of the people of Roscommon, both nationally and globally, through the medium of poetry, prose and short stories. 

Over the past seven years SiarScéal has produced numerous showcases of poetry to music in conjunction with Abbey Music. Through this work SiarScéal has branched out and is busy all year round, culminating in our annual festival in March. 

SiarScéal publications include: Roscommon in Reflection Anthology 2012; Home Place in Translation; and bilingual booklets (English and Gaeilge), as well as a poetry to music CD with a historical theme. 

Is féile dhátheangach, féile stairiúil, liteartha é SiarScéal atá á eagrú gach bliain i gContae Ros Comáin, spreagtha ag cultúr agus oidhreacht Ros Comáin. Ceiliúríonn SiarScéal saol agus stair muintir Ros Comáin, go náisiúnta agus go domhanda, trí mheán próis, filíochta, agus gearrscéalta. 

Le blianta beaga anuas tháirgtear SiarScéal go leor taispeántais filíochta le ceol, i gcomhar le Ceol na Mainistreach. Tríd an obair seo bíonn SiarScéal in ann brainseach amach agus bíonn muid gnóthach tríd na bliana, ag críochnú in ár bhféile bliantúil i mí Mhárta. 

I measc foilseachán SiarScéal: Roscommon in Reflection Anthology 2012; Home Place san Aistriúchán; agus leabhráin dátheangach (Béarla agus Gaeilge), chomh maith le filíocht le ceol le téama stairiúil.
