Trim Swift Festival readathon

Now in its fourth year, the 2011 Trim Swift Festival will take place from the 30 June to the 3 July in Trim, Co. Meath.

This year's festival features a number of exciting events to commemorate Jonathan Swift, including a readathon to raise funds to support our work. Attractions include:

- A round table discussion featuring Rory Bremner, Minister Leo Varadkar, Minister Pat Rabbitte, Noel Whelan, Harry McGee, Terry Prone and many more.  This lively debate will be held over a four course meal.

- A full day of satire on Saturday held in a marquee at Trim Castle - contributors include Alan Shortt and Barry Murphy from Apres Match among others.

- A Gulliver's Travels readathon in aid of Aware on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (1 - 3 July). 100 people are needed to read 3 pages each of Jonathan Swift's classic, with donations made to Aware by all those who take part in or listen to the readings. As a final touch, the readings will take place in a Suzuki Swift.

For more information, including a full schedule of events and information on taking part in the readathon, please visit the Trim Swift Festival website.
