In our continuing celebrations for the centenary of WB Yeats Winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, this week is maybe the best of the year for visiting Thoor Ballylee!
Support Culture Night and its nationwide events on Friday 22nd September by visiting Thoor Ballylee, Yeats’ Tower, from 5-7 pm. For one night only there is free admission to the tower and cottage and all our exhibitions.
And this time you explore the Galway home of Poet Laureate W.B. Yeats, you can enjoy wonderful music from Eileen Fleming and Frank Wall, as well as the customary cup of tea and cake.
A reminder too that this week Nobel Words, a one-act play written by Peggy Monahan, is premiered at Thoor Ballylee on Thursday 21 September at 8pm, with support from Yeats Thoor Ballylee Society, Galway County Council and Creative Ireland.
Tickets are €10 and can be reserved by ringing 087 6360895.
Nobel Words travels to other venues including the Town Hall Theatre, Gort on 29th and 30th September, 8pm, and The Yeats Building, Sligo, on 7th October at 1pm. All tickets for these performances are available through the number above – or at the doors, but only if numbers permit.
