WELCOME TO THE FESTIVAL
t’s hard to believe that ten years of festival fun have come and gone, having grown from humble beginnings
in 2007 to the fantastic family event it is today. It’s been an incredible journey for us and we are grateful
for your continued support as we grew. The success of the festival would not be possible without our
sponsors, our festival friends, the businesses and individuals who donate prizes and the valuable contribution
of former members of the Committee, huge thanks to our stewards, volunteers and helpers and of course the
whole community of Ardmore, together we built the Ardmore Pattern Festival. We are blessed with a vibrant
community spirit where help and co-operation are the natural course of what we do and this is what sets the
Ardmore Pattern Festival apart and makes it as special as it is.
I
This year’s festival marks a sterling 10 year
contribution by two committee stalwarts, John
Supple, who had the foresight, the heart and
determination to revive the celebration of the
Pattern Day of St Declan and steer it forward
successfully and Maurice Power who grappled
hard with dilemmas, banners and cable ties and
held the festival together with his positive and
humorous spirit. It also marks an emotional time
for us as it signals the end of an era as all of us
step down from the mantle of ‘the Committee’.
After many years of commitment we’re now ready
to pass on that mantle to like-minded individuals
with the vision and enthusiasm to carry it forward
into the future and we invite you to express your
interest to us over the coming weeks and together
we will guide it through to the next phase.
many events as possible completely free, however,
you are welcome to make a contribution to our
donation boxes, just make sure that it has the
Ardmore Pattern Festival logo on it!
In the meantime, there is an exciting and action
packed programme of events planned for you to
enjoy! As always we have endeavoured to keep as
Chris, Ciara, Claire, Denise,
John, Louise, Maurice & Rosie
aka ‘The Coi.’
If you need any information just call to us at the
Festival Office located at Halla Dhéagláin and we
will be happy to help you out and please support
those who help to make the magic happen, their
businesses really deserve your support for their
generosity.
Now all is left for you to do is go and enjoy the
10th Anniversary of the Ardmore Pattern Festival,
go and have fun in our glorious village and make
unforgettable memories with your families and
friends that you will cherish for a lifetime.
Go raibh mile maith agaibh go léir !
Why ‘Pattern’ Festival?
Who was St. Declan?
‘Pattern’ is derived from the Irish word ‘Patrún’
meaning ‘Patron’. The Patron Saint of Ardmore is St
Declan, and it is in Declan’s honour that we
celebrate the Pattern Festival.
The modern festival was established in 2007 by
a group of volunteers who thought it might be a nice
idea to put a fun, family twist on an old tradition.
Since then it has gone from strength to strength,
attracting more and more visitors every year.
For hundreds of years before its revival in 2007
however, Pattern Day was celebrated annually in
the village on the 24th July - mainly as a day of
religious devotion.
St Declan was a bishop who established one of the
country’s earliest Christian settlements right here in
Ardmore. His time in Ireland actually predates that
of St Patrick.
Born in Dromroe, near Cappoquin, Declan
travelled to Rome during the reign of Pope Hilary
(461 to 468AD) where he was ordained bishop. On
his return to Ireland, the legend tells us, a bell which
had been sent to him from heaven was forgotten.
After praying for its safe return, the bell was seen
floating on a rock. Declan and his devotees followed
the rock which came to rest on a headland on the
south-east coast.
It was here, where the bell came to rest, that
Declan decided to found his holy city. One of his
followers questioned his decision, asking Declan how
such a small hill could support all of his people.
Declan replied, ‘Do not call it a small hill, but a Great
Height’ or ‘Aird Mhór’ and so Ardmore got its name.
St Declan’s Stone, St Declan’s Well and St Declan’s
Oratory (An Beannachán) are all marked on the map
at the end of this booklet. Be sure to pay them a visit.
