EDUCATIONAL TOURS

The Parnell Society are undertaking a research trip to England and Wales from 4th to 8th of May.

We will be visiting Cambridge University where Parnell studied at Magdalene College for a time, staying in Cambridge for 2 days. While there we will visit the College and other places associated with Parnell.

We will then travel to Hawarden Castle , near Chester, which was the home of William Gladstone, the leader of the liberal Party during Parnell’s time in Parliament, and who worked with Parnell to try to achieve Home Rule for Ireland. While at Hawarden, we will have our usual Spring Day conference .

Travel will be by luxury coach from Dublin Port. Places are limited, so if you are interested in joining this trip please phone or e-mail Deirdre Larkin at 01 2852113 or dlarkin@parnellsociety.com for further details.

Since its foundation the Parnell Society has undertaken a number of educational tours, visiting locations associated with the extended Parnell family such as Boston, Bordentown, Washington DC and Valley (Alabama) in the USA, London, Eltham, Brighton, Hove, Littlehampton and Ilfracombe in the UK and Paris.

Please check back at the beginning of the year for any news of forthcoming tours.
