2009 Event

Athlone Literary Festival 2009 took place from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th September, with the Prince of Wales Hotel as Headquarters. It was considered to be a great success, and an archive report will be added to this website later.

The Festival has its origins in the first John Broderick Weekend held in May 1999. The festival is aimed at readers and writers and all those who enjoy good conversation and good literature.

Speakers include academics, wits, writers, poets, novelists, biographers, publishers and literary agents from time to time.
