Historical Walking Tours of Grangegorman

Grangegorman Histories is taking part in Revealing Grangegorman, a celebratory event organised by GDA, along with TU Dublin, HSE and Workday. The programme runs over two days, on 2-3 June, and it includes a series of free activities for adults and children of all ages.

Grangegorman Histories will deliver two talks and two walking tours. Details and links to book your free tickets can be found here below. We hope to see you there!

About the walking tour:

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 by local historian Ciaran Wallace, we will explore the histories between the eleven protected structures and share some of those histories.
