Flat Lake Festival

The Flat Lake Festival is an annual event organised by Patrick McCabe (novelist) and the Welsh film director Kevin Allen (actor) on the Hilton Park farm estate in Clones, Co. Monaghan, first held in 2007. The attractions of the festival are readings, comedy, music and theatre that take place among the barns and bales of hay, abandoned tractors and ancient oaks of the estate over the period of a long weekend, just a couple of miles outside the town of Clones on the back road to Cavan town.[1]¨nthWORD calls it a "cheap, off-beat, anarchic weekend that is hard to beat"[2]
