The Dark Side ofIrish Mythology
Stories have always been used to entertain, and to educate, to inspire and to imbue; indeed - there are more uses for a good story than there are stories themselves - sometimes, a story is made to scare.

On the Dark Side Of Irish Mythology Tour, we'll take a journey through the more sinister side of Irish storytelling - from some of the frightening figures of our ancient legends, to the strange and often macabre underbelly of Georgian and Victorian Dublin, and beyond. We'll attempt to uncover what kind of influence Irish mythology may have had on a young Bram Stoker, and whether or not it is evident in his work.
The mythology and stories of Ireland have put Gods in their heavens (and taken them back out again), kept schoolboys off stairways, forged a national identity, and helped topple an Empire. This unique tour will explore an often overlooked side of one of Ireland's great national pastimes; storytelling.
