A weekend of stimulating dialogue and discourse, gathering together writers, artists, film-makers, political commentators, musicians, architects, and more in the lovely village of Borris. It’s a relatively low key affair,  with a casual, friendly atmosphere, that has attracted an extraordinary line-up of speakers over the years.

Date and details for 2024 subject to confirmation.

Borris House, the seat of the High Kings of Leinster, is the main venue, a remarkable place which has been home to the same family for more than 800 years.
