About this event
Nine days, more than two hundred events, and free entry to buildings that spend the rest of the year closed. The Irish Architecture Foundation's festival runs guided tours, walking routes, talks, films and a junior strand for children across the city and county, from Capel Street to IMMA to Rush Library. Many individual tours must be pre-booked and they go quickly once bookings open.
