The Big Bealtaine Tea Party

Join IMMA for a flagship event with music, poetry, and more!

This year’s Tea Party, curated by our three Citizen Curators, Joe Maguire, Madge O’Callaghan and Peter Clarke, celebrates creativity at every age – spotlighting late-life debuts, reinvention, and practices sustained across decades. Inspired by the energy of Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life, the event reframes ageing as vitality, not decline.
