Ideas On Tap (Lectures In Pubs)
About the event
Join Brinsley McNamara of Weird Ireland for a fascinating journey into the Irish origins of Halloween. Discover how the ancient festival began, how it was celebrated in Ireland through the centuries, and how traditions like costumes, bonfires, trick-or-treating and the Jack-o’-lantern evolved over time.
A spooky trip through Ireland’s strange, ancient and sometimes downright weird Halloween traditions.
After each talk there’s a live Q&A, drinks, conversation, and a chance to meet new people who are curious about the world.
Over 18s only.
