Welcome to the West Cork Literary Festival podcast, your chance to listen back to some of our events from the 2024 festival in our new podcast series.
Now an annual highlight in the Irish literary calendar, the West Cork Literary Festival is a week-long celebration of writing and reading for people of all ages and we support writers at all stages of their careers. From its humble beginnings as a series of casual poetry readings and fringe events around the West Cork Chamber Music Festival, it has expanded into a varied and extensive programme of readings, talks, workshops and family events growing more adventurous and imaginative with each year. The festival has an excellent national and international reputation and we are delighted to bring the finest Irish and international literary figures to West Cork every July - making exceptional talent accessible to local, regional and national audiences.
Mark your calendars and join us in West Cork from 11-18 July 2025. Our 2025 line-up will be released in late March/early April and you can sign up for our newsletter to hear about it first.

Listen back to an unforgettable evening of stories, laughter and outspoken opinions with Miriam Margolyes. This podcast was recorded at West Cork Literary Festival on 15 July 2024 and Miriam was in conversation with Lynn Ruane.
‘My new book is called OH MIRIAM! – something that has been said to me a lot over the years, often in tones of strong disapproval. It contains lots more revelations and stories and discoveries and I can't wait to share it with you all!’ Miriam Margolyes
