For centuries, the banshee has been Ireland’s most famous messenger of death but how much do we really know about her?

Join Dr Gillian Kenny for a fascinating look at the history, folklore and stories behind Ireland’s most notorious supernatural figure. From ancient traditions to the modern-day banshee, discover how this eerie figure came to be so deeply embedded in Irish culture and why she may have been misunderstood along the way.

Come spend an evening in the pub listening to fascinating talks, meeting interesting people, and diving into ideas you probably won’t hear anywhere else.

Join us for a chat about ideas while having a pint. Meet new people, learn about new things and try something different.

After each talk there’s a live Q&A, drinks, conversation, and a chance to meet new people who are curious about the world and up for a good night out that’s a little different from the usual pub routine.

We’re also looking for new speakers from all kinds of backgrounds. Academics, writers, artists, researchers, comedians, creatives, or anyone deeply obsessed with a topic they love talking about.

If you’ve got an idea that could make for an unforgettable night in the pub, we want to hear it.
