Awaken your inner giant at The Jonathan Swift Festival as it explores the life and legacy of one of Ireland’s greatest luminaries. Challenge yourself at one of their public debates and discussions or have your funny bone tickled at Swift Laughs.
Have a Swift Beer at their 18th Century Tasting Session. Transport yourself to fantastical lands of music and performance. Lose yourself in the magic and mayhem of “Gulliver’s Fair” in which the marketplace of Swift’s most famous work comes to life.
From satire to science, this year’s Festival invites you to celebrate with us the many words and worlds of Jonathan Swift. Highlights include The Power of Comedy with comedian Tommy Tiernan in conversation with author Roddy Doyle.
