On Culture Night, join Grangegorman Histories for a guided history walking tour of the Grangegorman site.

In the past 250 years, Grangegorman, on the northside of Dublin city centre, has been the site of a workhouse, a hospital, a prison and it is now integrating back into the city as a health and education campus for the HSE, TU Dublin and the local community. The historical buildings of Grangegorman stand as architectural monuments to its past and complex history. In this guided tour, we will explore the site’s eleven protected structures and share some of those histories.

Over the course of the evening, there will be two guided tours. Meeting point: Grangegorman Lower, the concourse outside the East Quad. Map link. Each tour will last circa 60 minutes.

Tour One 16:30-17:30 (booked out - join the waitlist)
Tour Two 18:00-19:00 (booked out - join the waitlist)

Grangegorman Histories is a public history programme of research and shared discovery of the Grangegorman site and surrounding communities. Founding partners: Dublin City Council, Grangegorman Development Agency, HSE, Local Communities, National Archives, Royal Irish Academy and TU Dublin.
