About this event

The Red Line Book Festival, now in its 14th year is more than a celebration of literature, it is a platform for dialogue, imagination, and diverse yet shared experiences.

It is a time when readers and writers meet in fantastic local cultural spaces such as Rathfarnham Castle, Clondalkin Round Tower, Parthalán Place, Rathcoole Courthouse and many more.

The 2026 festival will feature local, national and international authors, as well as panels, workshops, theatrical productions, children’s events and more.
