Ulster American Folk Park, 2 Mellon Road, Omagh, Tyrone, BT78 5QU
Bad Bridget In Conversation

About

Deep dive into our popular Bad Bridget exhibition with the women behind the project on Thursday 14th September.
Take a wander around our exhibition before meeting journalist, writer and broadcaster, Fionola Meredith, as she leads an insightful and informal conversation with the academics behind our exhibition. Learn how the 'Bad Bridget' exhibition was put together, and delve deeper into the academic research behind the Bad Bridget stories.
Bad Bridget is a project led by Leanne McCormick (Ulster University) and Elaine Farrell (Queen's University Belfast), exploring the experience of women who left Ireland for North America between 1838 and 1918, many of which found themselves in trouble and struggling to survive.
This talk will take place from 19:00 to 21:00, and is for ages 16+. Book your place through the booking link.
