“Gelid light and air were in the kitchen but out of doors gentle summer morning everywhere. Made him feel a bit peckish.”
Ulysses, James Joyce
Embark on a gastroliterary journey this Bloomsday with some of the best culinary events the Bloomsday Festival 2024 has to offer!
Bloomsday Breakfast!
Sunday, June 16th at 8:30am and 10:30am
Belvedere College
€50
Belvedere College in association with the James Joyce Centre is delighted to host the Bloomsday Breakfast 2024.
Come enjoy this unique gastroliterary tradition in Belvedere College, in the very rooms where Joyce studied from 1893 to 1898. Joyce wrote about his student days at Belvedere College throughout his life, particularly in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
You will dine in “the heart of the Hibernian metropolis,” around the corner from where Leopold and Molly Bloom had their home at 7 Eccles Street and close to where Joyce lived until he emigrated from Ireland with Nora Barnacle in 1904.
Tickets include a special Bloomsday breakfast (full-Irish with Bloom’s beloved kidneys) and dramatic readings, performances and from Ulysses and Joyce’s other works.
There are two 90 minute sittings, the first at 8:30am and another at 10:30am.
Tickets are €50.
