For those looking at what’s on in West Cork over the next few weeks the Corona Fastnet Short Festival is set to take place from the 20th until the 24th May.  A festival for cinema lovers, the unique and popular festival is an ‘up close and personal’ five day event, where the audience, up and coming filmmakers, internationally acclaimed directors, producers, and invited guest speakers can share ideas and engage with each other.

If you are looking for places to stay in West Cork, then the West Cork Hotel is the ideal choice given its short drive to the festival centre. In fact for those in search of West Cork accommodation can benefit from the short 30 minute drive to the Schull.

The festival which is devoted to short films from around the world also includes a range of family events guaranteed to entertain. During the festival, the Family Fringe will provide high quality entertainment for all the family, most of which is free. With live music, parties, quizzes and cafe viewing of shorts and feature length films night and day, there really is something for everyone.
