SOLD OUT - 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 three guided tours starting from the concourse outside the East Quad (TU Dublin Conservatoire of Music and Drama), each lasting c60 minutes:

  • 16:00-17:00
  • 17:15-18:15
  • 18:30-19:30

Grangegorman Histories is a public history project of Dublin City Council, Grangegorman Development Agency, HSE, Local Communities, National Archives, Royal Irish Academy and TU Dublin.
