"Irish migration is central to the story of modern Britain...[and] ever since we’ve left, we have been adapting, we’ve been building partnerships and innovating. That is the way of emigrants. Irishness has changed, is changing and will change in the future."

What was it like to be a young Irish emigrant in the bustling streets of London during the 1980s?

In "Guests of Another Nation", a documentary sensation from John Fleming and Mark Stewart, you're invited into lives of 6 Irish emigrants grappling with the challenges of economic migration. Where did they work? How were they treated? Did they stay or come back home?

On May 31st, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum will be hosting a screening of the short film with distinguished journalists John Fleming and Mark Stewart in attendance.

But what's your connection to this period?

Can you believe the CHQ almost became a shopping center?

While searching for a commercial property, our founder Neville Isdell, stumbled upon the building by accident. He recognized its potential as a unique destination, as opposed to the common view of it becoming a high-end shopping center.

To solidify his big idea, the CHQ needed an anchor. And that is what led to the establishment of EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum.

Over the course of 11 years, Neville, his brother Mervyn, and the EPIC Team took a dream and turned it into a reality.

This is what can happen when you have courage, conviction, and community.

Just look at what the CHQ has become! And there’s still a lot of growth on the way….

EXCITING NEWS: The newly renovated EPIC Gift Shop has officially opened. The are walls full of new creations from Ireland’s most talented artisans and craftspeople for you to explore and support local.
