From performances by Irish National Opera, to movie screenings with acclaimed directors and literary discussion with world-famous authors, we're delighted to host each May an increasingly varied and interesting programme for curious culture vultures everywhere to enjoy.
The 2025 festival will take place from Thursday, 8th to Saturday, 10th May. Keep an eye on this page for more in the months ahead and do share when you can.
