In Dublin, where the novel is set, Bloomsday celebrations go on for a week from the 10th to the 16th June, with most of the attention on the day itself.

It is traditional to dress up and go out for the day, visiting the locations of the book and taking part in readings, walks and convivial activities of all sorts which in some way connect with Ulysses, its author and its world.

This year we celebrate Joyce's epic novel Ulysses from 7th - 16th June. Join us for our traditional Bloomsday Breakfasts, Readings & Songs in Meeting House Square, 2 fantastic Films, talks by Barry McGovern, John McCourt, and Sam Slote, and of course, Walking Tours.
