Bloomsday Family Picnic

To celebrate Bloomsday and the 100th anniversary of Ulysses, the Embassy of Ireland in Denmark is pleased to host a family picnic for the Irish community and friends – all ages are welcome! Join us next to the Statue of Hans Christian Andersen in Kongens Have, Copenhagen. Don’t worry, we’ll have a sign so you won’t miss us!

We are delighted to have performers from Københavns Shakespeare Kompagni joining us on the day, with lots of activities for children including readings, songs and interactive storytelling, and we will even have some goody bags!

You are welcome to come along with your best Joyce-inspired accessories – think straw hats, round glasses, a cane, braces, ruffled blouses, long skirts and shawls. Most importantly though just bring yourselves!

The event will be in English.
