Farmleigh Family Fun Day

This event has ended

Farmleigh House & Estate, Sunday 3rd August

Dublin Book Festival, in partnership with the OPW, is delighted to be back this August Bank Holiday weekend. We’ll be bringing you a fun-filled summer day of book and creative events for all the family to enjoy, in the beautiful grounds of Farmleigh in the Phoenix Park.

Join us for an exciting and engaging day featuring some of Ireland’s best-loved children’s authors and illustrators, including Bex Sheridan, Leona Forde, Sadhbh Rosenstock, Tarsila Krüse, and Jolene and Lily Mae Cox.

Get your next book recommendation from the Children’s Books Ireland Book Clinic, then try your hand at several musical instruments at the Music Generation Dublin City workshop, before kicking back and enjoying a performance for all the family.

We’ll also have plenty of drop-in activities running throughout the day to get immersed in, including a self-led family scavenger hunt around the grounds to enjoy in your own time, book shop browsing, our children’s book swap stand, and our creative arts and craft station.

This is a free event but registration is required.
