The Quiet Girl
(dir. Colm Bairéad, 2022)
In rural Ireland, a quiet, neglected girl is sent away from her dysfunctional family to live with relatives for the summer where she blossoms and learns what it is to be loved.
The first Irish-language feature film to premiere at Berlinale, Colm Bairéad’s award-winning debut is rooted in the small gestures that hold a staggering world of meaning. Uncommonly attuned to the solitude of girlhood, this evocative portrait of 1980s rural Ireland sings with beauty and melancholy.

Between April and October, camping is available separately via Maker Camp website. Our Tavern within the venue is open until late, dishing out all the finest local tipples to keep you hydrated, plus Garrison Gallery are often serving up a storm of cocktails within their magical art-adorned walls next door. During the camping season, Oscallys Food Wagon cook up top homemade scran to keep your bellies full until 9pm over by the campsite entrance, and The Canteen opens at 9:30am for coffee and breakfast all year round, bar January. See you up the hill!
