The 2026 Cork Lifelong Learning Festival is inviting event submissions from individuals, organisations, and community groups across Cork City. Running from Wednesday 22 April to Wednesday 29 April 2026, the festival celebrates learning in all its forms and welcomes events for people of all ages, abilities, and interests.
The festival provides a platform for participants to share knowledge, connect with lifelong learners, and showcase innovative approaches to learning in the community. First-time organisers may find the guide, “How to Host a Festival Event – Cork Learning City,” a useful resource.
Event submissions can be made online via https://submit.link/4l2. The deadline for applications is 31 January 2026. For assistance with submissions, organisers can contact learningfestival@corkcity.ie.
The festival continues to encourage fresh ideas while welcoming back familiar favourites, offering a unique opportunity to engage Cork’s vibrant learning community.
