The Sperrins Festival will occur from 20 to 22 March 2026 in the Sperrin Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in west Northern Ireland. The event features guided walks, talks, storytelling, music, crafts and a family fun day. The Sperrins Partnership organises the festival with partners including Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Derry City and Strabane District Council, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and Mid Ulster District Council, as well as local guides, historians, activity providers and community groups.

Gortin Activity Centre serves as the festival hub, supported by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council. Free transport runs to guided walks and events in remote locations. Far and Wild leads guided walks for different experience levels. Activities cover wildlife, local history and community stories, designed for various ages and abilities. Dogs remain banned from walks, and severe weather could cause changes with notice to participants.

Funding derives from the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs Environment Fund and the Department for Communities Historic Environment Division Research and Revivals Stream. Cllr Sean Clarke, Chair of Sperrins Partnership, said the festival connects people to the landscape and communities through walks, storytelling and experiences to mark heritage and encourage sustainable tourism. Cllr Barry McElduff, Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, said the council backs the event to present natural and cultural heritage, gather people and safeguard the environment.

Broadcaster Joe Mahon supports the festival due to the passion of organisers familiar with the area. The Sperrins region spans from the Donegal border to Lough Neagh, including mountains, rivers, valleys and lakes.
