The Mary From Dungloe Festival is one of Ireland’s most well-known celebrations of community, culture and heritage.
At the heart of the 10-day festival is the selection of the “Mary” — with around 25–30 representatives each year travelling from towns, cities and countries across the world to represent their communities. It’s a fantastic showcase of Irish identity on a global stage, attracting close to 100,000 visitors to Dungloe.
We’re delighted that Crannull are sponsoring Ava Weaver, this year’s London Mary, as she represents London at this year’s festival.
It was great to welcome Ava and Bridie Cunningham to the office today to meet myself and the team — a really nice way to kick things off.
On a personal level, the festival has been part of my life for many years. My mum was from Dungloe, and it’s something we attended regularly growing up and in more recent years.
So when Bridie asked me last year if we would consider Crannull sponsoring the London Mary, it was an easy decision to make.
Myself and my family are really looking forward to being back again this summer for the first time in a few years.
Wishing Ava the very best for the festival ahead — we’ll be right behind you.
