About this event

Celebrate Bloomsday with a unique experience at Dalkey Castle! A delightful combination of live performance and a guided Joycean walk.

Enjoy a live performance of the schoolroom scene from the Nestor episode of Ulysses, featuring Stephen Dedalus and the stern Mr Deasy. Explore Joyce’s fascinating connections to Dalkey with an expert guide, Joe Dunne and step onto the location where Joyce once taught and the scene is set. Feel the magic of literature come alive where “the sun flung spangles, dancing coins.”

Part of the Bloomsday Festival, supported by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.
