Facilitated by our Bealtaine Poetry Ireland Poet in Residence, Lust for Poetry is a two-hour poetry workshop that aims to bring the reading and writing of poetry alive in an accessible and exciting way. During this relaxed, interactive workshop, we’ll explore and celebrate poetry’s ability to help us live our lives to the fullest, on and off the page. Bring a notebook, your lust for life & your love of poetry, and you’re away! Open to all levels of writing experience. Pre-booking is essential.
Ireland’s national celebration of the arts and creativity as we age, marks three decades of vibrant, fun, and contemporary festivities in 2025.

From beautiful poetry to comedy showcases and immersive storytelling experiences, attendees can expect a diverse array of events that embrace the Bealtaine Festival theme, “Lust for Life”, inspired by the Iggy Pop classic hit.
