From authors in conversation, panel discussions on some of today’s most pressing issues, walking tours and poetry events, to book launches, special anniversary events, writing workshops, schools’ events, and our full weekend of free family events, there will be something for all book lovers to enjoy.

New Festival Hub for 2025

DBF is on the move and we are delighted to announce that we have a new Festival Hub. Join us at the iconic IMMA Venues in the heart of Dublin 8 on November 8th and 9th for a full weekend of events for both adults and children. Along with our full schedule of programmed events, we will have a wide range of drop-in activities to enjoy, from book shop browsing and arts and crafts stations, to family treasure hunts around the stunning grounds, and more. Stay tuned as we bring you more news around our new Festival Hub in the lead up to November.

Festival Supporters

We are grateful to once again be funded by The Arts Council, whose invaluable support allows us to programme, showcase and celebrate so many of Ireland’s wonderful authors, poets, illustrators and publishers. Thank you to all our festival funders, sponsors and partners, without whose continued and valued support the festival would not be what it is.
