The Ringsend & District Historical Society in partnership with Dublin City Council’s South East Area Community Team and with support by the Ringsend & Irishtown Community Centre is proud to present Bloomsday Villages: Ringsend & Irishtown on 11-16th June. Ringsend is where James Joyce and Nora Barnacle had their first date on June 16th, 1904. the date on which Ulysses is set. What better way to celebrate Bloomsday than to spend it where it all began!
On Bloomsday, Tuesday, 16th June at 11am, dress in your Joycean attire and join a horse-drawn carriage procession past Strasburg Terrace to the Joyce Bench in Ringsend Park, the location of James Joyce and Nora Barnacle’s first date. Local actors will recreate a scene from the lives of James & Nora.
The tour departs from St. Patrick’s Church, Ringsend.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, please email ringsenddistricthistorical@gmail.com.
