7 days of Creative Writing 

Creative Writing and Poetry 
​October 24-31 2021

If you are an aspiring writer or poet, join us for a week of inspiration and motivation in the same landscapes that prompted W.B. Yeats, Patrick Kavanagh and Seamus Heaney to take to the page. You'll learn about the tradition of Irish Literature, visit wonderful cultural and historic sites, enjoy writing workshops and readings, and you'll return full of creativity and enthusiasm. 

We would recommend this trip for people who are interested in the literary history and culture of Ireland, and enjoy museums, libraries, writing workshops, poetry readings and great conversations with other writers.
