Cork’s bi-monthly poetry event features poetry films, a poetry writing challenge, featured guest poets and an open-mic.
Taking place every second Monday of the month in the Hayloft bar, upstairs in Long Valley, Winthrop St Cork.
Between April 2007 and December 2019 Ó Bhéal was a weekly event and hosted fifty Monday-night events, featuring almost 1,000 accomplished poets from around Ireland and from numerous countries on six continents. In 2020 Ó Bhéal’s regular event became a monthly fixture, due to a shortage of sufficient funding. Many of these events have been held in conjunction with other city festivals, including the Cork Jazz Festival, Cork Harbour Festival, Cork Pride Festival, Cork Culture Night, Cork World Book Festival and First Fortnight festival.
