Upcoming Events

We run events, talks and workshops on all aspects of literary translation. Our events are open to the public and, unless stated otherwise, admission is free. Events are usually held at Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation, 36 Fenian Street, Dublin D02 CH22 (two minutes' walk from Trinity's Lincoln Gate), and occasionally at larger venues on Trinity's campus. Most of our events are run in hybrid format, so you can join from wherever you are in the world. If you would like to receive advance notice of these events, please complete the form at the bottom of this page, or email littrans@tcd.ie. We will not use your contact details for any other purpose.

Accessibility: unfortunately, there is no wheelchair access to our building at 36 Fenian Street. Our events room is situated on the first floor and, in addition to an internal staircase, there are steps from the street to the front door. There is wheelchair access at other venues that we use on Trinity's campus, such as the Arts building and Trinity Long Room Hub. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need more details about any specific venue.
