The Borris Festival of Writing and Ideas is celebrating its 14th year and continues to attract audiences from across Ireland and beyond.<\/p>\n
The festival, which takes place in the County Carlow village features dozens of writers, musicians and speakers, with up to 30 events taking place each day.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s tickets have already sold out, although organisers say returned tickets may become available through Eventbrite ahead of the event.<\/p>\n
Co Founder Hugo Jellet says he never expected the festival to be so popular, \u201cwhen we started, it was a amateurish and we didn\u2019t know what we were doing and in a way that naivety created its early charm
and then it just gathered pace really slowly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were patient with it.\u00a0 There was never a rush.\u00a0 We always tried to keep it small and it just made its way into everyone\u2019s hearts, and that\u2019s really why it does well each year,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Borris Festival of Writing and Ideas is celebrating its 14th year and continues to attract audiences from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":485989,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[208964,208965,61,60,43],"class_list":["post-485988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-borris-festival-of-writing-and-ideas","tag-hugo-jellet","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485988"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485988\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/485989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
