When it comes to planning your weekends in Ireland, you really are spoiled for choice. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Mastercard to bring you the ultimate event guide every weekend for the rest of the year. Your weekend starts here:
DUBLIN
MusicTown is a ten-day musical celebration happening from April 13th – 22nd organised by Dublin City Council and Aiken Promotions.
The aim of the event is to celebrate and explore all of the diverse music cultures that exist in Dublin, making it all accessible for everyone, no matter what your tastes are.
Each year, the event has an overarching theme and for 2018, it's collaboration and community.
Pet Sitters Ireland is hosting a free meet up for pet lovers at Marley Park on the 14th April.
These kind of meet ups are a really fun way to meet other pet owners in the area, who you can feel free to chat to about your pet-related questions, get some advice or even head along to chat to some people if you're thinking about buying a dog or cat in the future.
For anyone with a new puppy, there will also be a representative on site from Pet Sitters Ireland to chat about socialising pups.
Of course, there will also be some free goodies on the day!
Whiskey and brunch experience at the Irish Whiskey Museum
An exciting new attraction, taking a journey through the fantastic story of Irish whiskey from its origins, rise to glory and dramatic fall.
Hosted by some very entertaining guides, the tour is very interactive so you'll get to enjoy some tastings along the way and also nab enough whiskey facts to keep you gping through your next dinner party or ten!
