The name “Ballinran” is inspired by our storytelling heritage, rooted in Northern Ireland, where the art of storytelling is deeply valued. Founded in 1995 by journalist and broadcaster Craig Thompson, Ballinran Entertainment pays homage to the historic village of Ballinran in County Down, a nod to Craig’s family roots.
