BORRIS HOUSE FESTIVAL OF WRITING & IDEAS
18th – 20th September 2020
The Writers Festival is cancelled for this year due to Covid 19. The festival will take place from the 11th to 13th June 2021.
Borris House Festival of Writing & Ideas promises a weekend of stimulating dialogue and discourse, gathering together intriguing minds from all over the world. Many are writers; but artists, film-makers, musicians, people who have experienced the extraordinary, or indeed people who simply wish to change the way we do things, are there too.
We look forward to welcome those who have been before to Borris, and equally those who have heard it might well be worth surrendering a sunny weekend for. Come and spend a few days in the company of our inspiring speakers in the magnificent surroundings of Borris Village, situated at the foot of the Blackstairs Mountains with the River Barrow meandering by.
