Why Not become a friend or patron of the festival?

Become a patron!​​

If you want to make your weekend at Dalkey very special, become a patron or friend of the festival for advantages such as reserved seating, VIP passes and the opportunity to meet your favourite authors, with exclusive access and hospitality!

Dalkey Book Festival is made possible by the generous support of people who believe in big ideas and brilliant conversations. If you love what we do and want to help us keep doing it, consider becoming a patron.

​

Your support helps us bring world-class voices to our little corner of Ireland - and keeps the festival independent, ambitious, and full of life.
