GAA Museum, Croke Park

An Action Packed August at the GAA Museum!

The All-Ireland Championship is heating up and excitement is building in Croke Park. 

This month the GAA Museum has organised a whole host of special events to keep GAA fans happy. If you would like to soak up the match day atmosphere on one of the hurling and football semi-final days why not take part in a special Pre-Match Stadium Tour.

On hurling semi-final days the museum will be open to match-day ticket holders and craftsman John Torpey will be on hand to give hurley-making demonstrations.

This month the Museum continues its popular Legends Tour Series with three tours featuring Peter Canavan, Dónal O'Grady and Darragh Ó Sé. Additional All-Ireland themed Legends Tours will be announced later this month for September! 

Finally, for families looking for something to do before the kids go back to school the museum is running Family Fundays every Thursday and Friday in August whereby Kids Go Free.

Something for all the family this month at the GAA Museum!

Family Fundays. Kids Go Free!

Thursdays and Fridays in August, 9.30am - 6pm
