    Literary delights at Listowel

    Half a century since its inception, Listowel Writers’ Week continues to draw writers and book-lovers to this beautiful Kerry heritage town on the southwest corner of Ireland, transforming it into the centre of the literary universe. Broadcaster and author, Graham Norton called it “The best literary festival in the world,” and Emma Donoghue, author of Room said “I love the warmth and informality of this wonderful gathering.”

    Enjoy talks from renowned authors, take a masterclass in drama or poetry, or tour the Kerry Writers’ Museum. Round off your evenings with trip to the theatre, a film screening or a literary pub crawl to soak up everything on offer in this unique festival.
