Set in the heart of Dublin, a few minutes walk from the National Library and National Gallery of Ireland, the Grand Lodge of Dublin makes a splendid location for the PBFA to offer an excellent array of rare & secondhand books, manuscripts and ephemera from all periods, antiquarian to ultra-modern, covering a wide range of subjects, with something to excite all bibliophiles and suit all budgets.

Dublin’s numerous famous offspring include some of the most notable authors and poets of the modern era, including William Butler Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett, Oscar Wilde, and Dracula author Bram Stoker. Most famously of all perhaps is James Joyce, whose two most well-known works Ulysses & Dubliners both revolve around the city in their different ways.

In July 2010, Dublin was named as a UNESCO City of Literature.

Parking & Transport

Parking is available 2 minutes’ walk away from the Dublin Book Fair, at Setanta Place. There are also Park & Ride options available utilising the Luas rail links.
