About this Event

CONSERVING YOUR DUBLIN PERIOD HOUSE 2021

The Irish Georgian Society and Dublin City Council have assembled a team of conservation experts to present a series of talks on the history and significance of Dublin’s period houses and practical advice on their conservation.

Attendance at the talks will greatly benefit owners of all periods and types of houses, from the modest Edwardian artisan dwelling to the substantial red-bricks of the Victorian suburbs and the fine townhouses of our Georgian city squares, providing an ‘A to Z’ for their care and conservation.

The talks will be of particular interest to owners of houses listed as Protected Structures or located within Architectural Conservation Areas. These talks will also benefit building professionals and practitioners and are approved for CPD by the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland, Engineers Ireland, the Irish Planning Institute and the Heritage Contractors.

It is possible to book talks individually ( €15 each) or book for the whole course for a discounted rate (€125).

Lecture subscribers will be sent a Zoom link to the pre-recorded lecture at 1pm each Tuesday, which is available to watch for seven days from issue. After seven days the talk link will expire and cannot be reissued.

WellFest

Royal Hospital Kilmainham

he very first WellFest took place in September 2015 in Herbert Park, Dublin. The festival was created by 4 founders; Helena and Katie Ryan, Fionnualla Cleary and Anthony Kelly. The founders loved music festivals… But they were also huge fans of health and wellness. So they decided to create a festival that had music festival vibes… But with fitness icons instead of music groups, and avocados in place of alcohol! The festival has grown every year since, and last year we had over 12,000 WellFesters in attendance. 2024 is looking to be our biggest and best year yet. There are tonnes of
