In Dun Laoghaire this Sunday and next, free concerts are taking place on the East Pier from 3-5pm. This Sunday sees Colm Lynch and The Barley Mob taking to the stage and next week you can catch Bipolar Empire, Riptide Movement and Preachers Son. Dun Laoghaire is a short ride on the DART from Mount Herbert Hotel.
At the RDS, just down the road from Mount Herbert Hotel, the annual National Craft Competition takes place until 12th August as part of the Fáilte Ireland Dublin Horse Show. The competition, which has a prize fund of over €28,000, includes ceramics, glass, furniture and textiles and "aims to promote the practise of craft in Ireland and to encourage the highest standards of design and technique in both traditianal and contemporary craft disciplines".
A new addition to the city at the Point Village that you can go along and enjoy any weekend is The Wheel of Dublin. Get 360-degree views of the capital and its coastline from the 60m high observation wheel, including our next door neighbour Aviva Stadium. This attraction is also rainproof as the pods are enclosed. Tickets cost €9 with group and family discounts available, and The Point Village is just a short distance from Mount Herbert Hotel.
