Royal Hospital Kilmainham
It is that time of year again where we start to tell the stories of the dead nestled in the Royal Hospital. We are delighted to announce that our free weekend Bully's Acre Tours are to recommence once more.
On the 15th, 16th, 22nd and 23rd of June at 14:00, we will be traversing 1,500 years of history. Telling stories that exemplify the Hospital's military, medical, social and cultural history whilst looking at how the communities around would utilise the space as well. Sometimes for good, sometimes for nefarious reasons.
For more information and to book your places email rhktours@opw.ie. Spaces are limited due to the nature of the site.
