On this bespoke social history tour at the National Print Museum, explore the ordinary (and extraordinary) lives and customs of the printing trade.

The tour will cover topics such as the role of women in the Irish printing trade, ‘fire eaters’, ‘printer’s devils’ and the pressmen who were brought to court for eating a sausage! Have you ever wondered who printed the 1916 Proclamation?

Would you like to learn about print shop fun, games and mischief? Then join this tour and celebrate the humanity of the highly skilled craftspeople who brought life and colour to their ancient craft.
