For centuries, the banshee has been Ireland’s most famous messenger of death but how much do we really know about her?

Join Dr Gillian Kenny for a fascinating look at the history, folklore and stories behind Ireland’s most notorious supernatural figure. From ancient traditions to the modern-day banshee, discover how this eerie figure came to be so deeply embedded in Irish culture and why she may have been misunderstood along the way.

PLEASE NOTE WE EXPECT THIS TO SELLOUT FAST, WHEN TICKETS ARE GONE - THEY ARE GONE!

PLEASE NOTE:
EVENT IS UPSTAIRS

Doors are at 6pm, have your tickets and drinks from the bar downstairs ready!
Talk will begin at 6.15 pm sharp

#### Something different to do in Ireland?

Come spend an evening in the pub listening to fascinating talks, meeting interesting people, and diving into ideas you probably won’t hear anywhere else.

Every event features a different speaker and theme, covering everything from science, history, psychology, philosophy, politics, film, Irish culture, and bizarre internet rabbit holes to cinema breakdowns, existential questions, and strange moments from history.

One night could be about Dublin history, cult movies, or the psychology of personality. Another could explore black holes, political movements, philosophy, true crime, science fiction, or the weird side of human behaviour.
