Yeats International Summer School
An engaging event that integrates an academic programme of lectures and seminars with poetry readings and cultural events.
Yeats International Summer School 2020
With heavy hearts, we at Yeats Society Sligo have decided to cancel the 61st Yeats International Summer School, due to commence on July 30th 2020.
Putting public safety first is the priority and the board of the Society, along with the committee of the Summer School, have agreed, after careful consideration, that this is the best action. We commit to refunding those who have paid fees or deposits and we look forward to 2021 and to delivering a great school, led by our esteemed academic directors Professor Lauren Arrington and Professor Charles I Armstrong.
We look forward to your support in the future and hope you all keep well and safe.
