About this event

A special walking tour that traces Jonathan Swift’s deep connections to Dublin which end in a visit to Saint Patrick's Cathedral.

Led by Andrew White, Archivist at St Patrick’s Mental Health Services, this walking tour traces Swift’s deep connections to Dublin – from his years as Dean and his advocacy for the poor, to his enduring influence on Irish literature and society.

The walking tour concludes with a guided visit to Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, where an expert guide will bring to life the Cathedral’s stunning Gothic architecture, historic monuments, and Swift’s lasting imprint on this iconic landmark.

The tour begins at St Patrick’s University Hospital and ends at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. The full experience lasts approximately one hour.
