Books clubs have become tremendously popular and this annual festival celebrates the love of books and of reading – it’s an event for readers, not writers.

The festival gives book lovers a rare opportunity to listen to and meet with an impressive list of authors of both fiction and non fiction work who attend annually.

This popular annual book fair takes place in the pretty village of Fethard in Tipperary each February, with everything from inexpensive paperbacks to rare antiquarian books available.

Fetherd is a pretty village and when you’re done with the books you can visit what claims to be Ireland’s largest car boot sale nearby.

This fascinating museum tells the story of book and newspaper printing in Ireland with a collection of printing presses, woodblocks and old printed items.

Time it right and you may even have a chance to practice the art of typesetting the old fashioned way, and create a unique printed memento of your trip.
