Heaney & Women - Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again
About the exhibition
From the familial warmth of his mother and aunt, to the unwavering love of his wife and revitalising joy brought by his daughter and granddaughters, we will trace their presence through some of his most cherished poems. As we move through the exhibition, we will read aloud, share stories, and attend to the quiet ways these women appear in his work—not only as figures of affection and care, but as sources of strength, memory, and inspiration.
Saturdays 1 & 15 August at 11.30am - 12.30pm
Free, booking available.
