The festival, formerly known as The Kate O’Brien Weekend, is next year celebrating its 41st year. Returning to the Belltable from the 21st to the 23rd of February, the festival continues to honour the life and works of the Limerick author Kate O’Brien, while promoting Limerick as a place of literary excellence. We are excited to announce a full programme very soon. In the meantime, follow us on Facebook, Instagram and X/Twitter for the latest news and updates.
