About this event

Discover history at Collins Barracks on this free guided tour. No booking required, just come along and enjoy.

Dublin by Dusk is a new city-wide initiative seeking to provide people in the capital with a range of alternative night-time activities on the last Thursday of every month.

This tour focuses on the story of Royal Barracks (now Collins Barracks) and the lives of soldiers who lived here between 1706 until 1993. Learn about their daily activities, living conditions, drilling and marching practices and experiences going to war. This tour also explores the story of Collins Barracks becoming a Museum, and will introduce some of the most fascinating artefacts in the Museum's collection.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
