Yeats Thoor Ballylee Society

Welcome to Thoor Ballylee.
This fourteenth-century Hiberno-Norman tower was described by Seamus Heaney as the most important building in Ireland, due to its close association with his fellow Nobel Laureate for literature, W.B. Yeats. In 2015 Yeats Thoor Ballylee Society reopened the tower to visitors from around the world, with exhibitions and artistic events every summer. In 2019 The Studio opened as an educational and cultural workshop. We need your help to stay open and ensure the tower and associated buildings are permanently restored for future generations.
