Poetry Day

This event has ended

Online and Various Locations, Thursday 28th May

Poetry Day Ireland is an annual celebration of poetry and creativity across the island of Ireland, coordinated by Poetry Ireland, and will take place this year on Thursday, 28 May 2026. The theme for Poetry Day Ireland 2026 is “Home”, a theme that is significant as poetry has a new ‘home’ on the island as Poetry Ireland returns to No. 11 Parnell Square. This year’s Poetry Day Ireland should also reflect on the concept of home as one of the greatest issues and predominant themes of our times.

Get Involved
On Poetry Day Ireland we invite individuals, groups, and organisations across the country to take part in this all-island celebration of poetry. Get involved with poetry events taking place across Ireland, head to your local library, recite a poem and share with the world on social media, or simply send a poem to a friend!
