The Irish Architecture Foundation is proud to offer a unique guided walking tour on the past and present of Temple Bar, led by Michael McDermott, as part of the Bealtaine Festival. Places are limited, so reserve yours today!
This tour may be booked online or by phone on +353 1 874 7200.
Accessibility:
This tour will feature a wireless audio system, allowing you to hear the guide clearly through individual earpieces. Volunteers will be on hand to assist in setting these up before the tour begins. Please arrive a few minutes early for this.
The tour will involve walking on uneven surfaces, which may include cobblestones and brick pavements. Temple Bar is a busy and potentially noisy area with foot traffic which may cause difficulties with navigation. This tour will follow a relaxed pace and there will be opportunities for rest breaks.
When booking your place, please let us know if you have any accessibility requirements so that we can help ensure you can participate comfortably.
