Treat yourself – or someone you love – to a trip down memory lane.

Join us for a great new lecture series on the history of Dublin. In six live 45-minute talks, Professor David Dickson – the author of the definitive history of Dublin – will tell the story of the city from the arrival of the Vikings in 841 to the arrival of Google in 2003.

The lectures will take place on Zoom at 6pm on March 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th and April 6th.

Tickets for the whole series cost €50, and your host, David Dickson, will answer questions after each talk.
Bulk discounts are available for companies, groups and very large families!
