"Something Wicked This Way Comes": Witches in Irish History

Advertisement

Get into the Halloween spirit with this entertaining look back at witches in Irish history. Historian Dr Robyn Atcheson will take you on a journey from medieval murderesses and agricultural hijinks right up to Ireland's last witch trial. We will look at what people believed, how to identify a witch and the influence of the European witch-hunting craze.
Due to content, this talk is suitable for adults and secondary school-age children.
This talk takes place in the historic Boardroom of the Templemore Baths in Belfast with parking facilities and an on site cafe.
Please be advised this room is only accessible via a heritage staircase of 20 steps with a hand rail.
