About us
This is a group for anyone interested in the history of Dublin city and county. Come along if you want to share stories about the people and places - or if you want to learn more about this fine city! The Organiser Team are all volunteers, who love heritage and schedule a wide variety of events related to Dublin history, such as the Viking city, Georgian Dublin, Dublin Tenements, The Liberties, 1916, Famous Parks, Dublin Writers, Landmarks etc. The group is now 10 years old but - with a thousand years of history at our fingertips - the list of things to do is endless!
Code of Conduct:
At present, we are closed to new members. We hope to be welcoming new members shortly. Watch this space!
The group is intentionally relaxed, informal and friendly. We focus on having a smaller group of active members, so regularly remove members who are inactive. We are in the process of introducing a €5 membership fee.
As a minimum, the following code of conduct is expected of all members:
- If you say you'll attend.. then attend! No shows/last minute drop outs ruin the fun for everyone. We do track them and a member may be removed if they have a poor track record
- No using the group for commercial enterprise, the group is deliberately non-profit \
- No abuse of the organisers/other members
Any members in breach of this code will be removed from the group.
Health & Safety: Events are organised with H&S in mind (max numbers, no unsafe venues/destinations etc.), however, each member attends events at their own risk.

Tour of Castletown House.
Castletown House, Ceilbridge, Co. Kildare, IECastletown House is set amongst beautiful eighteenth century parklands on the banks of the Liffey in Celbridge, County Kildare. The house was built around 1722 for the speaker of the Irish House of Commons, William Connolly, to designs by several renowned architects. It was intended to reflect Connolly's power and to serve as a venue for political entertaining on a grand scale. The estate flourished under William Connolly's great nephew Thomas and his wife Lady Louisa who devoted much of her life to improving her home. Today, Castletown is home to a significant collection of paintings, furnishings and objects d'art. Highlights include three eighteenth century Murano glass chandeliers and the only intact eighteenth century print room in the country. It is still the most splendid Palladian style country house in Ireland.
