From compelling conversations to live performances and debate, Dalkey Book Festival has fostered a community which ignites dialogue, facilitates conversation and programmes the unexpected - unusual combinations that have strong editorial and curatorial twist.

The 2021 event will be a virtual experience - a streamed programme of over 20 events encompassing a mix of remote discussions and in-studio events, hosted by Andrea Catherwood, Mark Little and David McWilliams and featuring Isabel Allende, President Michael D Higgins, Anne Enright, Kate Raworth, Marlon James, Conor McPherson, Elif Shafak, Stephanie Kelton, Declan Kiberd, Professors Brian Cox and Ian Robertson and more to be announced.
