Athlone Literary Festival - Co Westmeath

Friday 7th - Sunday 9th October 2011

The Athlone Literary Festival has its origins in the John Broderick Weekend held in May 1999. The festival is aimed at readers and writers and all those who enjoy good conversation and good literature.

An annual event in a town with many literary associations. We hope that our programmes have something for everyone.

Speakers include academics, wits, writers, poets, novelists, biographers, publishers and literary agents from time to time.
