Proof for National Theatre logo - Queen Maeve [PD 2159 TX (28) 1]; Saint Bridget of Kildare [EP BRID-SA (1) I]; & Sheela-na-gig, County Tipperary [PD 1975 TX 34 (64e)].
Join us to celebrate women in Irish folklore with folklorist Glynnis Cowley.
Brigid is an inspiring figure in Irish folklore that symbolises creativity, wisdom, and healing, among other qualities. While we turn our focus to Brigid at one of Ireland’s quarter days, we can also take this time and all it represents to explore how the qualities we find in Brigid appear in the other women of Irish folklore. Join folklorist Glynnis Cowley in celebrating the diverse figures of women in Irish folklore and their stories.
