Dublin Culture Night ’09

Culture Night 2008

For those who’ve had their fill of Guinness after Arthur’s Day and want to steer clear of the pubs this weekend, Dublin Culture Night is now in it’s third year and promises to be the biggest and most extravagant to date. With everywhere from The National Gallery to Trinity College and every independent gallery in between, Culture Night gives Dubliners and visitors an opportunity to experience all that our city has to offer beyond the walls of the local boozer. With some venues open as late as midnight, free entry to museums, guided walking tours and event-specific installations, the only difficulty will be deciding where to go next. So have a look at the website and plan your night now or just hop off the bus and have a stroll around the city where a host of helpful culture vultures will be on hand to guide you in the right direction.

You can read a great interview with Culture Night founder Grainne Millar here to find out what it’s all about.

*Note that while all events are free, some must be booked in advance. See website for details to avoid disappointment.
