Culture Night at Belturbet GoodStore & Railway Platform 6pm – 11pm

Classical Bogland is an evening programme of events at The Railway Station & Platform in Belturbet hosted by Restoring Cavan’s Boglands project.

“we have no prairies” (also the first line of Seamus Heaney’s beautiful poem “Bogland”) for contrabass flute, contra-alto clarinet and soundtrack is one of the principal outcomes of a year-long project called Restoring Cavan’s Boglands which took place in West Cavan, Ireland during 2023-24. The project was funded by Creative Ireland’s “Creative Climate Action Fund II: Agents for Change” and involved a core team comprising lead artist & composer Ian Wilson, project manager Karina Charles, ecologist Heather Bothwell, hydrologist Francis Mackin, and assisted by a number of others.
