Lots to do see in Dublin


The busy season in Dublin is just beginning to kick off and the city is buzzing! The Bealtaine festival has got under way and coming up in the next few weeks we can look forward to the Dublin Dance Festival (11-26 May), the Dublin City Soul Festival (24-27 May) and the always popular Bloom in the Park at the end of the month.

Many of these festivals offer free events right throughout the city.
If you like soul music or enjoy soaking up the atmosphere - the Soul Picnic is not to be missed. This is happening in Dublin's Merrion Square on the 26th and 27th of May. Entry is free and you can expect to enjoy great music and tasty BBQ food (and rumour has it there will be a few special guests announced soon)

Just a short walk from Merrion Square is Dublin's Temple Bar Hotel and we have just launched our Summer Saver - offering a super rate of €89 for 2 nights B&B per person sharing. So why not treat yourselves to a nice break away!!
