What's the Story? www.abartaaudioguides.com

Our guides describe the key events and places of Irish history.

However we don’t think history is just about strong men and great battles. You also need to hear the sidebar stories to illustrate the lives of ordinary people that lived in exceptional times and places.

So while we enjoy a well-made documentary on BBC4, we’re also partial to the Sopranos. Because we know that along with being informative, history should also be entertaining you should get to hear of all the twists and turns.

We use music and sound effects to convey the mood and immerse you in the moment because sometimes words are not enough. Our guides will put you the listener centre stage, and make you wonder how you would have reacted during the 1916 Easter Rising, or how life would have been at the court of Brian Boru

You can enjoy our guides whether you are at the Hill of Tara or sitting in your favourite armchair at home. Just download one of our guides, and become immersed in the sensational story of Ireland.
