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.
