Visit one of Dublin's oldest public spaces, once home to the Tailors' Guild of Ireland, and scene of the 1792 Back Lane Parliament

Special free tour of Tailors' Hall for Heritage Week 2026. This year's theme, Heritage at Risk, is particularly relevant, as Tailors' Hall was almost lost in the late 1960s. Thanks to the commitment and determination of a group of dedicated campaigners, the building was saved and remains a treasured part of our heritage today.

All welcome to this family-friendly event.

Please note that the entrance is via the Back Lane side of the building. You cannot enter through the Thomas Street/High Street side.

Come join us on for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour. Explore the rich history and architecture of this hidden gem located in the heart of the city.

By stepping inside one of Dublin’s unique buildings you can uncover centuries of stories at Tailors’ Hall. This engaging and lively tour will bring the building’s rich history to life—from its origins as a guild hall to its role in shaping the social and cultural fabric of Dublin 8.

Discover the fascinating details, architectural features, and hear about the people who passed through its doors over the years. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or just curious about the city’s past, this is a unique opportunity to experience a remarkable piece of Dublin’s heritage up close.
