Join an expert tour guide on a fascinating journey through the hidden depths of Glasnevin Cemetery on the Dead Interesting Tour.
The stories of a nation are held within the walls of Glasnevin Cemetery. Established in 1832 as a burial place for all people, this unique garden cemetery grew from humble origins to become Ireland’s largest and most storied cemetery.
Stroll along beautiful tree-lined paths and hear stories of both the ordinary and the extra-ordinary. This includes visits to the resting place of renowned writer Brendan Behan, poet and novelist Rosa Mulholland, as well as an insight into the earliest history of Glasnevin with our first burial, young Michael Carey in February 1832.
With 1.5 million people buried in Glasnevin, every plot has a story.

Hear how the origins of Halloween or Samhain began in Ireland and allow Hannah to regale you with stories and history you won’t find anywhere else.
Enjoy a full afternoon tea of homemade sandwiches, warm scones and delicious desserts as we take you around a spookier side of Dublin. We’ll also have barmbrack on board for all guests to try and to get us into the Halloween spirit… but who will be the lucky guest to find the ring?
