Description:

Step inside one of Dublin’s hidden gems this Culture Night with guided tours of Marsh’s Library, running every 30 minutes on a first-come, first-served basis.

Visitors will walk in the footsteps of literary greats like Jonathan Swift, James Joyce, and Bram Stoker as they explore the beautifully preserved interior—virtually unchanged since the Library first opened in 1707. From the famous reading cages to quirky tales of past visitors, this tour offers a glimpse into one of the few remaining Georgian buildings still serving its original purpose.

The experience concludes with a visit to Marsh’s hidden garden, a quiet retreat normally closed to the public.
