Encounters Among the Sídhe: Stories from Ireland’s Ancient Landscape

Join Bobbo the Bard for an evening of storytelling exploring his personal experiences and encounters with Na Daoine Sí, often referred to as fairies or spirits of the land.

Over two years ago, Bobbo set out on a journey to visit an ancient site in every county in Ireland. Along the way, this journey sparked a deeper interest in Irish mythology and a growing relationship with the beings and traditions connected to Ireland’s ancient landscape.

Drawing on a collection of personal experiences, Bobbo will share the stories that have shaped this journey, exploring the connections between Ireland’s sacred sites, its folklore and the enduring presence of the Sí in Irish cultural tradition.

An evening of personal storytelling, Irish mythology and a fresh perspective on the stories woven into the land around us.

Something different to do in Ireland?

Come spend an evening in the pub listening to fascinating talks, meeting interesting people, and diving into ideas you probably won’t hear anywhere else.

Every event features a different speaker and theme, covering everything from science, history, psychology, philosophy, politics, film, Irish culture, and bizarre internet rabbit holes to cinema breakdowns, existential questions, and strange moments from history.

One night could be about Dublin history, cult movies, or the psychology of personality. Another could explore black holes, political movements, philosophy, true crime, science fiction, or the weird side of human behaviour.

After each talk there’s a live Q&A, drinks, conversation, and a chance to meet new people who are curious about the world and up for a good night out that’s a little different from the usual pub routine.
