The York Early Music Christmas Festival takes place in a wide variety of historic churches in the City of York including York Minster and the newly restored church of St Margaret’s now re-opened as the National Centre for Early Music.
Based in Galway’s medieval centre, the Galway Early Music Festival features medieval, renaissance and baroque music and dance. Concerts by international performers, workshops and street performance, coupled with the West of Ireland's unique welcome, make this the place to be in May for a taste of early music magic.
