Tuatha Events, Talks & Tours

Tuatha Events, Talks & Tours

We want to help you connect with the stories of Ireland, and there are few better ways than to develop a shared experience with other like-minded people as part of the Tuatha community. We also help you to develop a deeper understanding of Ireland’s archaeology, history and heritage with our monthly Tuatha Talks. These are live presentations from some of Ireland’s leading experts, like Dr Gillian Kenny on Gráinne Mhaol and Dr Marion Dowd on Archaeology and Folklore, or insights from cutting-edge research like Dr Patrick Gleeson on Ireland’s ancient royal sites, or archaeologist Paul Duffy on the latest discoveries of Medieval Dublin. Missed a webinar you really wanted to attend? Members don’t need to worry. Our full catalogue of online events is available to watch back whenever you have the time.

As well as online events, members of Tuatha can join us on one of our exclusive tours. Recently we took a stroll up to the Hellfire Club, while Neil Jackman told us all of his excavations of a Neolithic tomb on the hill’s summit, and of the folklore, mythology and dramatic history of this iconic Dublin landmark. Future tours will feature experts like archaeologist and author Christiaan Corlett who will lead us on a tour of Glendalough, and of course, each year one lucky member will win two tickets for an unforgettable tour of Skellig Michael!

We believe in paying experts and professionals fairly for the time and knowledge they give us, whether for a webinar, a tour or helping us with one of our courses. By being a member of Tuatha, you help support the many researchers, heritage professionals and enthusiasts who love sharing their expertise and passions.

So if you’d like to be part of a community of people who are all passionate about exploring the wonderful heritage of Ireland, take the plunge and start exploring with Tuatha today!
