Birthday Celebrations
2 February 2026
On Monday, 2 February 2026, the James Joyce Centre was open to the public for free to celebrate the birthday of James Joyce.
We had a wonderful time filled with joy, laughter, tours, songs, readings and more than a little cake. Mr Joyce himself (aka John Shevlin) even managed to make an appearance at his own party.
Thanks so much to Noel O’Grady, Eileene McLoughlin, Jack Walsh, Paul Reardon, Sinead Murphy and to all of those who joined us for this special day.
Happy 144th James!
The James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport.
