Athlone Castle will host a captivating talk by journalist and author Paul Clements. In 2018, Paul went on a journey along the River Shannon following in the footsteps of the actor, writer and singer Richard Hayward who explored the river in 1939 for a book and film.

This talk is based on Paul’s exploration for his book, Shannon Country, and excerpts from Hayward's rare film, 'Where the River Shannon Flows', which was popular in cinemas throughout Ireland in 1940 will also be shown.

This event is supported by the Heritage Council under the Irish Walled Towns Network 2023 Interpretation Fund.
