Activities to celebrate St Brigid at the National Museum of Ireland

The National Museum of Ireland 
February 2025

The National Museum of Ireland has announced events and activities to celebrate St Brigid this February. A visit to one or more of the three Museum sites in Dublin and Mayo is a must to learn and discover more about the history and traditions associated with Brigid – the ancient goddess of Imbolc and the Christian patron saint of Ireland.

From shoe shrines to straw crosses, they have a full and varied programme of workshops, drop-in sessions and tours showcasing the many artefacts, traditions and rituals associated with and dedicated to St Brigid. Read more about St Brigid’s Day Traditions here
