The Festival

The next Write By The Sea festival  25–27 September 2026.

Escape to Kilmore Quay on the Wexford coast, where books meet the sea. For one magical weekend each September, our beautiful village transforms into a haven for readers and writers alike.

Spend your days listening to acclaimed authors, joining lively debates, discovering new voices, and sharing laughter with fellow book enthusiasts—all against the backdrop of our stunning coastal setting.

The 2026 programme launches in July.
Mark your calendar, and join us for a weekend of words, waves, and wonder.
