Yeats

This small tower in a secluded location was once home to the poet William Butler Yeats, who restored it as a home for his family.

Following his death it fell into disrepair (as he predicted) but has now been returned to the way it was when the Yeats family lived there in the early part of the 20th century.

January 28, 2010 to January 30, 2010.
A more recently established companion to the better known Yeats Summer School , this weekend event is an opportunity to learn more about one of Ireland’s greatest poets as well as getting to know the places he loved and which influenced his poetry.

Lectures, readings and discussions on themes related to the work of Ireland’s best known poet comprise the bulk of the weekend’s programme.
