As part of Open House Junior, Experience Glasnevin has planned a special cemetery tour aimed at young people aged 8 – 12. This tour will take in many stories from the near 200 years of the cemetery’s history. Participants will get to hear many tales of some of the cemetery’s famous inhabitants but also a couple of interesting characters they may not be familiar with. Lion tamers, Zookeepers, graverobbing, Cuban bloodhounds, dead parrots, all will be a feature on this specialist tour for children that is not for the faint hearted!

Meeting Point: Experience Glasnevin – Visitor Centre Reception, Glasnevin Cemetery, Glasnevin, Dublin 11, D11 XA32
