Full programme!
Only ten more days until we celebrate Bloomsday in Ostend. Join us on 16 June as we celebrate the centenary of Ulysses in the city where James Joyce spent his summer holiday in 1926. Dress up! We’ll be celebrating in the sartorial style of 1926. There’s an exhibition of eighteen original prints based on Ulysses in the Ostend Library, the launch of a new gazette Ostende!, a picnic (bring your own food and drink), live music and song, a James Joyce walk along the promenade and pier, all interspersed with readings from Ulysses in multiple languages.
