Bíodh Orm Anocht: Sharon Slater and St. Michael’s Graveyard

The historic St. Michael’s Graveyard at Charlotte’s Quay is largely unknown to Limerick citizens. Ormston House’s Historian-in-Residence Sharon Slater will lead a walk and talk to share knowledge of the history of the site and the people who now rest there.

Join us at Ormston House on Friday, 19 September 2025 at 5pm, followed by a five-minute walk to the graveyard. Admission is free and booking is not necessary. This talk will have limited accessibility due to steps and uneven ground.

The exhibition Bíodh Orm Anocht will also remain open until 9pm as part of Culture Night 2025.
