DALKEY IRISH HERITAGE TOWN COMPANY COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Dalkey Irish Heritage Town Company Limited by Guarantee operates Dalkey Castle & Heritage Centre, one of the few surviving fortified medieval townhouses from the 14th century, set on the scenic south-Dublin coastline near Dalkey. The organisation delivers immersive, theatrical experiences that bring Ireland's Viking and medieval past to life. Visitors can join award-winning living-history tours of the 1390s castle, explore the adjoining 10th-century churchyard of St Begnet, and wander through interactive heritage displays, scale models and digital screens in the Writers' Gallery.

In addition to the core guided tours, Dalkey Castle offers a range of specialised services: historic and literary guided walks, luxury group experiences such as medieval evenings and literary-legends events, and seasonal festivals including Bloomsday and the Maeve Binchy Echoes Literary Festival.

The centre is a popular day-trip destination for both locals and tourists seeking a vibrant, culturally rich outing just a short DART ride from Dublin city centre.
