The original Bloomsday began here at the Martello Tower in Sandycove, which is now home to the James Joyce Tower & Museum. Located at the seaside at Sandycove, a village on the south coast of Dublin, the James Joyce Tower & Museum is a place of immense interest for tourists and locals alike.

It is the setting in which the opening of James Joyce’s masterpiece Ulysses is set, and proudly houses the James Joyce Museum, which boasts a unique and wonderful collection of Joycean memorabilia.

It is also a terrific vantage point from which to enjoy panoramic views of the south coast of Dublin and “the awakening mountains” Joyce refers to in Telemachus, the opening episode of Ulysses that is set in the Tower.

The Tower Bloomsday readings and songs in full Edwardian dress will happen on zoom at 11am.

These events are kindly supported by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and the Friends of Joyce Tower Society.
