Grace O’Malley – The Pirate Queen of Ireland by Angela Chantry

All members welcome, no need to book. Doors open at 10.30am to allow a prompt start.
In a life stranger than any fiction, Grace O’Malley, daughter of a clan chief in the far west of Ireland, went from marriage at fifteen to piracy on the high seas. She soon had a fleet of galleys under her command, but her three decades of plundering, kidnapping, murder and mayhem came to a close in 1586, when she was captured and sentenced to hang. She was saved from the scaffold by none other than Queen Elizabeth herself – another powerful woman in a man’s world.
Members will need to show their Covid Certificate to be allowed in and must wear masks throughout. Once admitted members must be seated immediately and not gather in groups.
