The Yeats Winter School is designed as an interlude that allows the visitor the opportunity to learn more about W. B.Yeats and his family. The aim of the weekend is to provide a basis for reading, exploring and thinking about Yeats's poetry and his, in the place where much of it began.

Every year, the Yeats Society winter School includes readings by renowned Irish authors, a variety of musical and dramatic presentations, lunchtime talks and outings.
