Terror Talks: Land of Monsters - Ireland's Fearsome Folklore

CALLING ALL FOLKLORISTS!

Join Alternative Ulstours' 'Master of the Macabre' Andrew Johnston for an illustrated Terror Talk on the frightening cast of creatures in Irish mythology.

Andrew will follow an ancient tradition of storytelling, recalling legendary beasts that have have beguiled and bedevilled for centuries, from shapeshifting fairies and soul-hunting demons to supernatural foretellers of death.

Infamous entities such as the Banshee, the Leprechaun and the Morrigan will emerge from the otherworld, alongside the awful likes of the Púca, the Dullahan and the Fear Gorta.

The talk will explore how these fabled bogeymen have acted as warnings for children, or evoked people's hopes, fears and desires.

So, come along to the iconic Sunflower Public House, buy a drink, pull up a seat and let Andrew guide you through Ireland's own menagerie of monsters!
