Poetry and writing workshops

We use the cosy and intimate atmosphere of the Irish pub for story telling, folklore, poetry and mythology readings, and good conversation to stimulate your imagination and get you writing. We'll add in traditional music, a roaring fire, and plenty of locals who will have lots to tell you. We are right beside miles of golden beaches, with the Dartry mountains overlooking us - sunrises and sunsets will depend on whether you are the early bird or the night owl, but both will inspire you.

The Dublin Book Festival

Taking place in November, the festival programmes over 80 events across 5 days in venues throughout the city of Dublin, the 4th UNESCO City of Literature, including Dublin City Libraries, National Library of Ireland, Irish Writers Centre, The Gutter Bookshop, The National Botanic Gardens, Royal Irish Academy, Royal Dublin Society, Fighting Words and many more locations, with the main weekend festival hub at the historic Dublin Castle in the heart of the city.

History and Culture 

Ireland has a fantastic tradition of story telling that pre-dates the written script, and the journey from the bardic schools and fireside recitations to our current, rich and diverse literary culture is a fascinating narrative - not just for people of Irish descent, but for anyone with an interest in indigenous cultures and traditions. Place names, family names, folklore archives, parallels with other mythologies, political & religious agendas, colonization and post-colonial impacts- so much to explore, you'll come home bursting with ideas!
