Kildare Readers Festival Kildare Readers Festival

1 - 11 October 2026 The programmes include authors in conversation, panel discussions, book launches and writing workshops.

Kildare Readers’ Festival, running since 2010, is an annual celebration of writers and the art of writing which showcases and supports both established and emerging authors across all genres with entertaining, exciting, and accessible events. Kildare Readers’ Festival in association with the Irish Writers’ Centre takes place every October with most events taking place in the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge along with some of our Kildare libraries. While the Kildare Readers’ Festival programme is aimed at an adult audience, Kildare Library Service also runs Children’s Book Festival throughout October.

Throwing it back to #2016? Don't mind if we do! 💚📕

⌛ 2016 was the seventh edition of the Kildare Readers Festival and featured a great programme of events which took place across the county. We had a whole host of wonderful authors, interviewers, and speakers join us at the festival that year, including (but definitely not limited to!) Ré Ó Laighléis, Lisa McInerney, Joe Duffy, John Sheahan, Neil Donnelly, Joanna Walsh, Dave Butler, Rick O'Shea, and Dermot Bolger. Check out the cover page for that edition's brochure!
