PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Heritage Week 2022 is coming
to Ringsend with the ‘From Cromwell to Today’ walking tour. This is the unique
story of the history of the public houses in village of Ringsend and their
colourful tales. This walking tour of approx 1hr will take you on a journey
from the once 10 pubs in the village of Ringsend to today's 3. Closed and wiped
out by Cromwell, the pubs recovered, they helped to ferment revolution, they
survived a temperance movement and adapted as laws and habits changed. On the
tour, you'll hear the real story of Ringsend's pubs, and the characters who
owned and frequented them. Plus we learn about the history of Ringsend and why
streets like Whiskey Row have vanished.
The tours will depart
Saturday 13th (2pm) & Sunday 14th (3pm) August plus Sunday 21st (1pm) from outside
the Ringsend Library and they are Free of Charge.
The Ringsend Tour follows
the extremely successful ‘History of the Sandymount Pubs Walking Tour’ in 2021
and the history evening that celebrated the centenary of O’Reilly’s pub in
Sandymount.
The 1916 Easter Rising
Coach Tour was founded in 2011 and has guided thousands of guests through the
unique history of Ireland’s revolutionary period. This award winning company has
more recently developed a unique way of telling the stories of the Irish
licensed trade.
