Ireland’s rich and diverse heritage in the arts is recognised and celebrated internationally, with books by our most famous painters, poets and story-tellers travelling the globe and spreading the light of Irish culture far and wide. From 9^th century manuscripts to contemporary playwrights, Ireland’s distinctive culture is honoured both at home and abroad in events, showpieces and exhibitions. As such, it is no surprise to see Ireland welcoming top international talent in the arts and this May sees the focus turn to writing and literature, with the hosting of Dublin Writers Festival.

Described by the press as ‘boasting a stunning array of top international literary talent’ and ‘the country’s most successful and easily the best of annual literary event’, the Dublin Writers Festival line-up is sure to impress. With readings, discussion, debates, workshops, performance and screenings, the festival creates a hotbed of ideas. Dublin looks forward to welcoming writers from around the globe and engaging in the universal language of artistic expression, a language in which Ireland continues to be a global leading icon.
