Songs and Souls — Closing Night at Mallow Arts Festival 2026

The Mallow Arts Festival closes in style on Sunday 26th July with Songs and Souls at St James’ Church of Ireland, from 8pm to 10pm.

This was one of the standout hits of last year’s Cork Midsummer Festival, and we are delighted to bring it to Mallow.
