Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Bloomsday Festival at the James Joyce Tower 2026.

A special thanks to Volta Theatre Company for producing our hugely successful reenactments of TELEMACHUS and CYCLOPS, to the wonderfully dynamic performers of ATHRAITHEOIR , and to the Idrone Players for their imaginative and creative Ulysses aWake.

We are also deeply grateful for the phenomenal performances by Jim Norton, Caitríona Ní Thréasaigh, Morgan Cooke, Zita Monaghan McGowan, Molly Mew , and Senan Molony .

Thanks also to all our wonderful volunteers who brought Joyce’s text to life through their readings of extracts from Ulysses. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and passion added so much to the festival experience.

And finally, thank you to Noel O'Grady, Val O'Donnell & Co., and the Druidy Druids for filling the Tower with such beautiful music throughout the celebrations.

What a memorable Bloomsday Festival it was. Thank you all for making it so special.

Bloomsday Countdown | 2 Days To Go

A onelegged sailor, swinging himself onward by lazy jerks of his crutches, growled some notes. He je**ed short before the convent of the sisters of charity and held out a peaked cap for alms towards the very reverend John Conmee S. J. Father Conmee blessed him in the sun for his purse held, he knew, one silver crown.
