REVIEWS✍️
Clare * 9 reviews •
Had such a great time at this beginner DJ workshop today. It was super accessible, really well structured, and the fact that it was female-only made it feel especially comfortable and welcoming.
Gibby was a brilliant teacher, checking in with everyone, going at our pace, and explaining things clearly without ever making it feel intimidating. He covered the basics really well, but also gave us loads of practical guidance on how we could set ourselves up if we wanted to keep going afterwards, which felt very thoughtfully planned.
This must be the place was great space for the workshop. It was great craic from start to finish and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend to anyone curious about DJing and not sure where to start.

Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls of Dublin | Walking Tour
2026-06-05 18:00 - 20:00 | WB Yeats House, 81 Merrion Square Street, 2 Dublin, Dublin, 2, Ireland
Experience Dublin’s mysterious legends and myths on this 90 minute walking tour.

Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls!

Ireland has a unique relationship with its legendary past. Kept alive in the histories of the Filí and the Seanchaidhe, Ireland’s gods were not destroyed but – in the words of Mark Williams – demoted to lesser beings. This is an important element of Ireland’s oral histories, which in turn have coloured its popular histories and left many legends for us to parse over today.
On the other side of Irish history we have the ballrooms, the salons, and the private studies of Dublin’s litterati. The seances and unwrapping parties, the mysteries and the macabre, all combining into the secret esoteric orders that strove to unlock the secrets of existence.
Come explore with us where these two elements fuse to create the wonderful world of Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls that are just as much a part of Dublin’s history as any of its citizens and buildings…
Our tour has over 100 excellent reviews online and is ranked in the top tours on Trip Advisor.
