Jonathan Swift Festival: Gulliver’s Travels Gala Dinner

Thursday, 19 November 2026
About this event
For one night only, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral will be transformed for an elegant four-course gala dinner, with each course inspired by one of the four remarkable lands encountered during Gulliver’s voyages: Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa and the land of the Houyhnhnms.
Expect much more than a traditional gala dinner. Gulliver’s Gala Dinner is designed as an immersive journey through the novel, combining fine dining with theatrical touches, surprises and moments inspired by Swift’s humour, satire and remarkable imagination.
Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
