Limerick Lifelong Learning Festival

The Limerick Lifelong Learning Festival is back, taking place from Monday 20th to Sunday 26th April 2026 and has something for everyone - wherever you live, whatever your age is and whatever your particular interests may be. Learning is promoted as fun with events including performances, debates, taster sessions, tours, displays and demonstrations.

There are up to 200 FREE events held over the week, across multiple locations across the city and county, taking place in a variety of venues including libraries, museums, community centres, parks, colleges, and on the street! The festival theme this year is ‘Discover Lifelong Learning 2026’. It is also based around the power of connections and will have a particular focus on the fun and joy of learning and family-friendly events.

The festival is being presented by the Learning Limerick Steering Group, which is representative of all the main stakeholders involved in promoting learning across Limerick.
