"If you’re not doing something the church would have burnt you for 400 years ago then you’re just not witching properly…or enough…or at all!’

COUNTRY WITCHES ASSOCIATION presents THE ANNUAL WITCHES SUMMER SOLSTICE

Pick up your brooms and set your witchy intentions for 2025 at the Annual Solstice Gathering of the Country Witches Association at Brunswick Picture House. Swap out the commercialism of Christmas for something both rebellious, anarchic, and deeply rooted in Irish and pagan traditions: fiery conversations, spicy storytelling, and the warmth of gathering in the mess of this past year.

The CWA is the satirical and inspired work of Nolan and Tyrrell who call in a super charged gathering: from the rabble rousers to the tree hugging activists, the wild women, the wise women, the boundary breakers and the menopausal cranky pants. This is a show for women who feel unheard, who are angry, who want to see change. This is a show for women who are going to make trouble.

Mandy Nolan is a stand up comedian who took her passion for change to the polls this year when she stepped into the political arena to push for change. Áine Tyrrell is a singer/songwriter who uses her craft to give voice to the uncomfortable. An Irishwoman who stands strong against the mindset of the colony, with her own lived experience at the forefront of her truth telling. On their own, Nolan and Tyrrell are a force to be reckoned with; together, they are formidable. Together they are The Country Witches, an unlikely collaboration that speaks deeply to their shared values and the tribe of women who find comfort in their call.

The Country Witches Association was born out of a desire to tumble conversation, community and outrage together in one big creative cauldron. It was a desire to harness the mood of the moment with both tenderness and contempt. To say hard things, and outrageous things, and kind things, and stupid things, all in one show.

So for women tired of waiting for permission to join the conversation, sick of judgment and expectation, of being tired, of violence, and oppression and nothing changing, there couldn’t be a better way to end your year and honour the Solstice than to join the Country Witches in our Annual Summer Solstice gathering on Saturday, 21 December.
