About this Event

New to Ireland? Curious about the country you’re visiting?

Crash Course on Ireland is a lively and entertaining introduction to Irish history, culture and modern life — all explained in the relaxed atmosphere of a traditional Dublin pub.

In one evening you'll discover how a small island on the edge of Europe produced a remarkable history: from Viking Dublin and medieval invasions to rebellion, independence and the modern Ireland visitors see today.

The talk explains the key events and ideas that shaped Ireland, helping visitors understand the country beyond the guidebooks.

You’ll learn about Ireland’s early history and Viking Dublin, the Norman invasion and centuries of conflict, rebellion and independence, Irish culture and traditions, and modern Ireland — from emigration to the Celtic Tiger and today’s global tech hub.

The event takes place in Meagher’s Pub on Eden Quay, overlooking the River Liffey in the heart of Dublin.

Visitors arriving from 6:00 pm will have the opportunity to learn how to pull their own pint of Guinness — a classic Irish pub experience.

The talk begins at 6:30 pm and the event finishes at approximately 8:00 pm.

Perfect for visitors newly arrived in Ireland,wanting historical context, travellers interested in Irish culture, and anyone curious about the story behind modern Ireland.
