A huge thanks to all the wonderful authors, poets, illustrators, musicians, singers, journalists, moderators, introducer's, publishers, booksellers (Gutter Bookshop and Books Upstairs) who helped to make Mountains to Sea dlr Book Festival 2014 such a great success! Our Curators Bert Wright, Aideen Howard and Sarah Webb put a terrific programme together. Our venues were superb - the Pavilion, Maritime Museum, County Hall and in particular our fab new dlr LexIcon where we welcomed over 4,000 people over the weekend.

You can relive the memories with Ger Holland's and Mark Granier's photo record of the many events and we'll have them on our website soon, along with a selection of podcasts. Thanks to our many sponsors who made such a difference to the programme and in particular the British Council Ireland for bringing the Dylan Thomas Poetry Shed (and many associated events) to Dún Laoghaire.

Above all, we'd like to thank YOU, our wonderful audiences for supporting the programme and coming out in your droves to share the weekend with us. And remember, you won't have long to wait until our next festival when we return to our usual full length programme from 18th-22nd March. We look forward to seeing you!

The festival organisers would like to extend their sincere gratitude to all involved in Mountains to Sea dlr Book Festival 2014. A full list is available here.
