Overview
Townlands Carnival Music & Arts Festival is located on ancient woodlands and valleys near Cork’s old Rusheen Farm estate, surrounded by lakes, follies and tree-lined green fields.
Crammed with music, art and entertainment, the Irish festival is set across three days in the summer. Pairing established artists with upcoming talents, showcasing acts from all musical genres.
“Lost in a world of luscious green, where the grass cradles your
footfalls and the trees reach toward the heavens, you’ll find a festival unlike any other. ”
The Project
TLC gave me the task to create their festival wristbands and festival map. Wrist bands needed to be clearly coloured and marked with numbers for the different purposes over the weekend. Performing artists, on-site security and crew as well as festival attendees, all needed to have wristbands.

“Deirdre came on board to design our wristbands and site map for the festival in 2018. Understanding the time pressure and changeable circumstances that comes with planning a festival, she was incredibly flexible and responsive to our needs. Her unique asset was that she ‘got’ us and what our brand was like. Within an incredibly short time frame, she captured the essence of the festival and transformed that into her work for us.
As well as being open, friendly and supportive, Deirdre is hugely professional and clear in her approach, requirements and agreements. She was able to identify opportunities we didn’t see which added value to the festival. She is an invaluable asset to any team undertaking branding or design work. If you want it done right and want that ‘GOT IT!’ feeling - work with Deirdre.”
