The James Joyce Centre<\/strong> opens its doors to celebrate the greatest day of the year — Bloomsday! We will be open to the public for free on Monday, June 16th from 9:30am to 6pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The James Joyce Centre is proud to organise The Bloomsday Festival<\/a><\/strong> on behalf of the city of Dublin. As a token of our appreciation to Dublin and all the participants of Bloomsday, we will open our doors to the public for free.\u00a0Come see Leopold Bloom’s door from No. 7 Eccles Street, where it all began. Browse our exhibitions, parlour rooms, and interactive guides to Joyce’s life and work. Marvel at the beautifully preserved 18th century townhouse, a stunning example of high Georgian architecture. See the Maginni Room, named after “Mr Denis J Maginni, professor of dancing &c,” the real-life dance instructor who used the room as his dance studio and is mentioned in Ulysses<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to the beautiful music of Classical Joyce<\/strong><\/a> at 10am<\/strong> and a trepidatious performance by the Fingal Mummers<\/strong><\/a> at 2pm<\/strong>. The Bloomsday Film Exhibition<\/strong><\/a> by the Bloomsday Film Festival<\/strong><\/a> will be playing in the Volta Room throughout the day starting at 10am<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the acclaimed performance of Declan Gorman’s The Dubliners Dilemma<\/strong><\/a> at 4pm<\/strong> and listen in on a live recording of the Blooms & Barnacles Podcast: Could an AI Write Ulysses?<\/strong><\/a> at 6.30pm<\/strong>. Please note that these two events are ticketed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seedcake will be provided by the Parnell Street Bakery<\/a><\/strong> for visitors to enjoy. An appearance by “Alice,” a vintage car built in 1904, will grace North Great George’s Street. There will be readings, talks, music, children’s events, and fun throughout the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to dress up in your finest bowler hats and Edwardian garb as you join visitors from all over the world for an unparalleled cultural celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admission is free and open to the public. No booking is necessary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
