Five Deadly Things To Do In Dublin This Week

We know how tempting it is to go into hibernation from Monday to Friday but it would be a mistake, as you’d miss some of the best events going on in Dublin.

There’s a host of weird, wild and wondering gatherings taking place in our fair city each week and we’ve made it our mission to make sure that you’re aware of them.

Try these on for size…

Check out the St Patrick’s Festival

Annalise Murphy will lead this Friday’s parade but what you might not know is that there are a whole host of events taking place this week for the St Patrick’s Festival. It runs from Thursday to Sunday and include everything from walking tours and exhibitions to music and cinema screenings. See the full programme here.

Have a laugh at the 3 Arena

Ireland’s largest ever stand-up comedy gig is taking place at the 3 Arena on Friday night (in aid of Comic Relief), with comedians including Dara O Briain, Tommy Tiernan and Deirdre O’Kane taking part. Tickets are priced from €39 and are available here.

Pop by the new Jameson Bow St Distillery

The new Jameson Distillery on Bow Street in Smithfield opened up this month and there’s a ton of cool stuff happening there on Paddy’s Day, including live music, cocktail demonstrations and games. Find out more here.

Contemporary Editions at Gormley’s Fine Arts

Want to see works by Andy Warhol, Banksy, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Keith Haring, Robert Indiana, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Bambi? Get yourself down to this South Frederick Street gallery before the end of the month.

Go to a Lovin Dublin event

You could do a lot worse this week than come and hang out with us! We’re hosting two cool events in the city and the first takes place in a secret bar at the Guinness Storehouse – find all the info here. Next up is a Heavenly Brunch at Eden Restaurant on Sunday, which is the perfect way to end an amazing Paddy’s Weekend!
