Féilire and Wyrd Collective are delighted to collaborate for a special Samhain celebration on the 30th of October at Sharkeys Bar.                           

Join us at Sharkeys Bar for Samhain traditions, games, art installations, spoken word, live music and DJ’s.       

Samhain traditionally marks the Celtic New Year and the end of the harvest. One of the year’s most liminal times, when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. A time to reflect on the last year, set intentions, and reflect on the light we will carry into the darkest half of the year.

We are throwing a Masquerade Ball to bring people together and also mark a year of collaborations between Féilire and Wyrd Collective. We have celebrated a full Celtic calendar, starting with our Samhain event in Adrian’s last year, Imbolc 31st of January at the Flying Duck, Bealtaine in collaboration with Agnew Lane, and an art installation and story walk for Lughnasagh.

On the night, we are excited to be joined by three incredible live acts: Cashlin Mackenzie, Medb, and Culchie Goth which will make a very special night.

Wyrd Collective will be opening the evening with story telling. There will be art installations, traditional Samhain games, and a Féilire x Wyrd Dj set to close out the evening.

Féilire is a collaboration between Lou Rowland and Zoe Sheehy, and was born from overlaps in their practices and a desire to celebrate the four Celtic festivals. Féilire, meaning calendar in Gaeilge (Irish), brings people together to mark Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine, and Lughnasagh through  gatherings with storytelling, music, art installations, and rituals. Féilire explores how these  practices can grow and evolve, creating accessible and welcoming spaces for people to come  together and share collective experiences and community. 

Wyrd Collective is a collaborative storytelling collective based in Glasgow. Founded in early 2025  by multidisciplinary artist and facilitator, Iona Taylor, the group has grown through communal  practice to gather, write and share tales. Their debut at Mesh, and our collaborations have used storytelling to build community, collectively reflect on the passing of time and mark the rhythms of the calendar.
