Paint by the pints at The Bernard Shaw
A painting masterclass with pints sounds like a bit of craic all the same and it's certainly different to what we normally get up to on the weekends.
Taking place this Sunday at 5pm, tickets cost €25 and includes two free pints of Guinness and there will be prizes on the night. Tickets are available here.
Feile Nasc
Dublin's first outdoor trad and folk festival, Feile Nasc, returns to Marlay Park this Saturday, May 21.
The one day festival will run from 1pm until 10pm with a packed line-up of folk and traditional musical artists, including much loved national treasures as well as local up and coming musical artists.
There will also be a large children's activity area featuring a forest camp, drumming workshop, karaoke as well as a selection of food and drink vendors.
Adele night at The Workman's Club
Adele is arguably one of the most successful singer-songwriters of a generation, Adele, will be honoured this Saturday at The Workman's Club as fans of the star sing along (and probably scream along) to her biggest heartbreak anthems.
Tickets are going for €8 and are available here.
Van Gogh: An Immersive Journey at the RDS
The Van Gogh show at Dublin's RDS is an incredibly immersive experience with visuals projected onto massive walls in a large open room as well as onto the very floor you sit on. That paired with booming surrounding sound effects makes for a truly magical experience, complimented by a trip to the infinity room after.
Tickets can be purchased here.
