WCCMF FRINGE 2026 is now online. FRINGE events take the world class chamber music that comes to Bantry every summer, and bring them to the far corners of West Cork. The Festival is excited to bring a FRINGE event to Cape Clear for the first time, an event kindly sponsored by Creative Places West Cork Islands. Concerts will be held at all the old favourites – Levis, Whiddy Island, Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre and more. There will concerts in Schull, Heir Island, Ahakista and Castletownbere.

All concerts are free and open to everyone.

Visit the website for the full event listings or to download the brochure.
