As we move towards the ‘grand old stretch’ and into Seachtain na Gaeilge and St. Patrick's day, we weave the UCD Culture Trail into the tapestry of Irish and world cultures at UCD, through the spoken and written word, music, tae and caint, dancing and music. This three-day chapter of the UCD Culture Trail focuses on IRELAND AND THE WORLD: and shines a spotlight on our talented and diverse students and staff. No booking required.
