At City Language School we like to encourage our students to get out, about and practice their English while discovering more about the great city and country they live in. Every Thursday we publish Three This Thursday – events or happenings that we believe our students might enjoy. This week we have come across a History Festival, a nice looking gig and a day trip to a seaside town in Wicklow.

Dublin Festival of History – Wednesday 9th September – Early October – FREE
The Dublin Festival of History is an annual free Festival, brought to you by Dublin City Council, and organised by Dublin City Libraries. The Festival has gained a reputation for attracting best-selling Irish and international historians to Dublin for a high-profile weekend of history talks and debate in the late Autumn.
Many of the lectures are online but there are some local walking tours that might be interesting.
