The celebrated community arts event The Book of Sligo was published by Blue Raincoat Theatre Company in November 2021.

An elegant and beautifully designed publication The Book of Sligo is a completely unique celebration of one county. The book draws upon ancient Civic Parish structures, to bring the reader an eclectic taste of Sligo’s profound social, archeological, and ecological heritage from every corner of the county.

32,000 free copies of the book were distributed to households throughout County Sligo as the key part of one of the largest community arts projects yet staged in Ireland. The delivery programme was carried out by a host Community Groups and volunteers between November 2021 and April 2022.

Due to the high level of enquiries from Sligo people who are not resident in the county we are now offering to forward the book anywhere in the world through our website.

As a publicly funded arts organisation, our company is not in a position to distribute The Book of Sligo free of charge beyond the existing project commitment of delivering one free copy to each household in County Sligo. Accordingly, the book is being made available for the cost of printing, nominal cost charges for packaging and administration, plus the delivery charge appropriate to the delivery address specified in online orders.
