Following the success of our fifth festival in 2025, our sixth weekend will showcase the current burst of exploration and re-engagement with Classics and the ancient world. Artists, writers and thinkers, international and Irish, are taking Classics as a lens to examine our contemporary cultural and political preoccupations and challenges.

Our programme in late January 2026 will present inviting encounters including performances and readings, both online and live, in public spaces - art galleries and cultural centres - with a number of events appealing to second and third-level students. In interviews, discussions, film screenings, dance and musical theatre performances you will see and hear from artists working in different genres and art forms, in thought-provoking and imaginative ways.

Come and join the new Renaissance.
