Visit the award-winning Dalkey Castle & Heritage Centre, where 21st century technology meets 15th century living history; the best of both worlds!

Every day (except Tuesdays) actors from Deilg Inis Living History Theatre Company bring history to life in a fun and entertaining way.

Characters include the Archer who with his longbow and sharp arrows defends the castle from attack. The visiting Barber Surgeon will trim your hair, extract your bad tooth and sometimes has a special offer on urine sampling! The Cook prepares delicious, culinary delights.

On site, there is a fortified townhouse/ small castle, Early Christian church and graveyard, and modern Heritage Centre with interactive screens showing historical information (in 12 languages). 

The Writers’ Gallery has information on 45 writers and creative artists from Joyce to Bono and Beckett, Binchy and more.

New to the Heritage Centre, the Maeve Binchy and Famous Irish Writers Walk begins in Dalkey Castle and passes over the streets these writers loved on Fridays at 13.30 June 3rd –September 2nd.

Minimum numbers required. Dalkey Castle and Heritage Centre is open all year, six days a week (closed on Tuesdays).
