This Weekend in Dublin - Sean-nos in Temple Bar, Story of Motown, O2 Challenge



If you haven’t made plans yet, here are a few ideas for events taking place this weekend in Dublin.

Tomorrow, Friday the 30th of July, Temple Bar is featuring Sean-nós singing and dancing workshops. From 18:30 – 20:30 in the newly opened culture box on East Essex Street, you can learn “old style” sean-nós songs and take part in sean-nós dancing. For just €20, these workshops will allow you to experience first-hand traditional Irish culture.

Starting today the 29th of July, the Story of Motown is being presented at The Olympia Theatre. Lasting until Saturday the 31st, the show features all the classic hits from the Motown period of music history. Hits from The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, The Miracles, and much more will be recreated for your enjoyment.

The first rugby game at the new Aviva Stadium is also this Saturday, July 31st! Called the O2 Challenge, this game kicks off at 2:30pm and features rising young players from Ireland’s four provinces. Since we are located right next to the stadium, our Tritonville Bar & Terrace is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat before or after the game!
