Brigit: Dublin City Celebrating Women

Save the Date for Brigit 2026

We are delighted to announce that the fifth edition of Brigit: Dublin City Celebrating Women will take place from Friday, 30th January to Monday, 2nd February 2026. Mark your diaries now as we prepare to return with a dynamic programme celebrating women’s creativity, heritage and influence across Dublin City. Full programme details will be announced in early January.

As we look ahead to Brigit 2026, we are thrilled to unveil a limited-edition apparel collection, The Power of Brigit, specially designed by Jill & Gill.

This exclusive range honours the legacy of Brigit — the powerful Celtic figure of poetry, healing and forge — reimagined through a contemporary lens. The design celebrates women who shape culture, community and change, drawing strength from tradition while looking boldly toward the future.

Each piece is more than a garment; it is a symbol of solidarity, creativity and collective power. By wearing this collection, you are publicly supporting women’s voices and visibility, and carrying forward a story that belongs to all of us. Please see here for pre-orders of the Power of Brigit collection.
