About

"The books stood open and the gates unbarred" - 'Villanelle for an Anniversary' by Seamus Heaney

Seamus Heaney HomePlace opened its doors in September 2016 to inspire minds, move hearts, host people from near and far and platform a stellar array of artists, authors, academics, poets and performers while engaging new audiences in the work of Seamus Heaney. A decade on our history is still being written.

This special celebration marks the 10th anniversary of HomePlace featuring music from Neil Martin, Anthony Toner and Rod McVey, with readings by Glenn Patterson and actor Seán McGinley* plus a few special surprises.
