Meet at Cows Lane, Saturday 21st August - Saturday 28th August
Have you ever wondered what Medieval Dublin was like? We will see the sunken sights, imagine the sounds and inhale the smells of the era.
About this event
We will see the sights, sounds and most importantly smells of a very different time. The Dark Ages was when the Vikings founded Dublin and everything was made of wood. There were constant battles both internally and with the Gaelic Irish so life was uncertain and many people were shipped to Iceland, brrr.
Strongbow arrived and brought Dublin into a larger Medieval world. Was it was world of Princesses in Towers and Knights in shining armour, let’s see!
We will see a sunken tower, remains of the old Dublin walls and have a thing (game) where we work out who stole the sheep in a Viking court of law. Bring your play swords and we will duel on the Medieval Walls to see trial by combat, popular in Medieval Times.
This was a time when children worked and got up really early, when they slept in the same beds and shared this room with their parents, yuck!
There are two versions of this tour, one for children and the other to bring out the inner child.
