We are delighted to welcome outstanding Tenx9 event to Donegal for the first time in 2024 as part of the Frances Browne Literary Festival, where our theme will be ‘HOME’.

We’re inviting you to get involved.

everybody has a story. ordinary stories, extraordinary stories, stories that delight, entertain, educate, stories that make you laugh, think, hope and cry. stories are the raw material from which we live our lives.

fiction is great, but tenx9 is not for fiction stories. our events are for telling real stories only. everybody has a story. come and share or come and listen.

Founded in Belfast in 2011 by Paul Doran and Pádraig Ó Tuama Tenx9 is a storytelling event where nine people have up to ten minutes each to tell a true story from their own life.
