The Julian Walton Winter Lecture Series takes place every January for a 10 week period. Every Thursday night, Julian and a selection of guest speakers outline the history and events of the community, county and region. Lectures cost €5 and include question time and refreshments after the lecture. Julian has completed nine lecture series to date, covering all topics from the history of the Powers of Dunhill Castle, to Thomas Francis Meagher to the Blueshirt movement locally. Julian is always interested in hearing from patrons who wish to hear about a particular topic and he starts planning the next lecture series almost immediately after the last one finishes!
