Experience Description
Experience Gaelic Games offers a mix of cultural immersion, soft activity and
serious interaction over 3-4 hours. Your group visits a local Gaelic (Irish) Club
where the session starts with a personally delivered Audio/Visual presentation
explaining the Irish obsession with our tribal national sports as an expression
of our cultural identity. Then we unleash the groups inner warrior instincts as
they learn how to play our native games. Add to this, some Gaelic Handball
action and you have the perfect Irish ‘team’ experience.

showcases the unique global journey of the Irish people. Epic Ireland is located
in the beautiful vaults of the iconic CHQ building, which dates from 1820,
and is situated on Custom House Quay in the centre of Dublin. This high-
technology interactive exhibition, tells the story of the Irish people’s dispersal
throughout the world over the ages. This is the world’s first fully digital

Italian and German. Each visitor gets to take away a souvenir passport that
they get stamped as they walk through the galleries.
