2022 Saturday All-Day + Night Ticket - Borris House Festival
Event Information
About this event
Tickets holders for the Saturday will have access to approximately 30 talks or events across 6 stages - covering debates, discussions, performances, lectures, interviews and readings.
Speakers will be revealed each month starting in January, but most of the speakers visiting across the weekend are there at some point on Saturday. And on top of this, when the sun is over the yard-arm, the evening programme of live music and mischievous humour takes up residence in the Festival Marquee on the grounds of Borris.
This tickets allows you to move freely from one talk to another, but it may not guarantee you a seat in all of them - we operate a first-come-first-served seating policy in each auditorium, but our overall capacity at the festival will ensure there is always a talk somewhere with room for you.
Borris Festival is about experiencing a full day (or weekend) of many intruiging dialogues on diverse and jaw-dropping subjects - rather than visitng a single talk by a writer or speaker you want to hear - so we urge you to dive in.
Your day pass is not transferrable to anyone else during the day, and must be accompanied with your ID to access each talk.

Organiser of 2022 Saturday All-Day + Night Ticket - Borris House Festival
The postponed ninth edition of The Festival of Writing & Ideas will take place September 18th to 20th 2020, bringing together some of the most intriguing international minds – novelists, journalists, film-makers, poets, theatre directors, war correspondents, biographers, artists and political commentators – for a weekend of stimulating dialogue and discussion.
Borris Festival has become known for its languid and laid-back feel, and for its extraordinary line up of speakers.
“One of the friendliest, most stimulating literary festivals in the world.” – Ian McEwan
“Manages to retain all the charm of a smaller gathering where people are here because they fancy it, not because they are selling a book.” – Mariella Frostrup
