The ‘Otherworld’ is a vital concept in Irish culture, and offers us a wonderful opportunity to explore our own sense of identity, our relationship with nature and landscapes, and our relationships with each other through mythology, folklore, tradition and the Irish language. Dr. Niamh Hamill will take us into this realm, explaining the origin story of Ireland, the fairy folklore, the traditions of the quarter days and the festivals, and the accessibility of marvellous and fantastic traditions that can illuminate our lives and enhance our appreciation of everything around us.
