Wigs on the green! At the "ingenious" St Patrick's treasure hunt 2012
Would you like a tailor-made talk, or a walking tour with an enthusiastic and enteraining guide? Stories you won’t find anywhere else? We can provide illustrated talks and guided walks, packed with ingenious stories, tailored for your group or location. For St Patrick’s Festival 2012, we also devised the questions for the Treasure Hunt, to incorporate some of Dublin’s ingenious history and connections. And we gave one of our special “Elephants to Earthquakes” walking tours of Dublin to the Irish Science Teachers Assocation 50th AGM.
Our talks to museums, libraries and local organisations have included the many inventions of the ingenious Irish, and the tall tale of the priest, the turkey and the giant battery! We have run guided walking tours of Dublin for Heritage Week, Culture Night, visiting European researchers, science teachers, the women in science network, and more..
Contact us, if you would like Mary Mulvihill to give a talk or guided walk for your group or event.
