Stendhal Festival just very recently celebrated its 15th year in a field in Limavady, Northern Ireland. Ross Parkhill is the person behind this, who started Stendhal Festival in 2008. “Glastonbury made me realise that you can introduce kids to the arts, and we do this to show you can carve out a career in the arts here in Northern Ireland. “We’re the last doing what we do in our camping festival sector in Northern Ireland,” says Ross bluntly. Stendhal Festival 2027 is confirmed for 1-3 July.
