This event has ended

Online, Tuesday 8th June

Culture Club is a series of hosted talks and tours that introduce and encourage people to connect with the cultural spaces of the city.

Join 14 Henrietta Street tour guide Colin Ring for this online talk that charts the rise of Georgian Dublin and its sharp decline to one of the poorest cities in the British Empire.
