Rebuilding the Custom House

This will be a fun filled tour for families with children from 6 to 12 years old.

Your amazing tour guide will talk all about the 1700s architecture of the building, and explain how all the builders, stonemasons and sculptors did their job way back then. The works of the great Custom House sculptor Edward Smyth will also be explained in an age appropriate way.

There will also be children's worksheets available where they can answer questions and begin their journey to becoming an architect by drawing The Custom House.

There are two tours available

  • Saturday 12th October - 12 noon
  •  Sunday 13th October- 12 noon

(Unfortunately, there is no ramp access available for the tours. Access to the building on these days can only be made via the six steps at the front of the building.)

Bookings can be made via openhousedublin.com when the event portal opens to the public
