About the Phoenix

Community and Voluntary group

The Phoenix Arts Festival is an event that took place each year in Tullamore, County Offaly, in the midlands of Ireland.

It was run on a voluntary basis throughout the year to coordinate a weekend of events in the Offaly capital.

Tullamore Phoenix Festival Ltd. is a company limited by guarantee and was responsible for the management and carrying out of official Phoenix duties required by law, including accounts, audits and annual returns.

The festival was run on a voluntary basis by a group of like minded individuals, wishing to take part in the town of Tullamore fulfilling its true potential. The group felt that a town the size of Tullamore should host an annual community festival in its calendar of events. The Phoenix Festival initiated many beneficial community activities through a network of active participants, volunteers, artists, muscians, free thinkers, businesses and contributors, both locally and  from around the world.
