About the event
After a few years’ hiatus, Doolin Writers’ Weekend is back. Words have always found a home in Doolin and this festival is still the kind of gathering where everyone belongs, and never the kind that takes itself too seriously. Writing is a lonely game, and January can be a lonely month, but Doolin is where you’ll find friendship, inspiration, and the company of other writers who know the road.
It’s a weekend of open doors, stories shared, pints, tunes, and conversations that carry long into the night. Workshops, readings, music, yoga, séances and mad masses, open mics and food worth travelling for. Doolin Writers’ Weekend is a festival that feeds the head and the heart.
