In Person

‘I have begun to think of life as a series of ripples widening out from an original centre.’

Join us for a special tour retracing Seamus Heaney’s travels across the island of Ireland through his poetry founded in his fond and vivid memories.

Following his life from rural beginnings in Bellaghy to his time spent living in Wicklow, the Garden of Ireland, and along Sandymount Strand. Together, we will celebrate the island and the landscape which shaped Heaney and his poetry.
