This St. Patrick’s Day, the Guinness Storehouse and Guinness Open Gate Brewery are bursting with colour and entertainment over eight-days of festivities filled with music, art and food from Wednesday, March 11th to Wednesday, March 18th. Dive into an immersive, exciting experience built on creativity and connection, showcasing cutting-edge Irish talent, all flowing from the heart of Dublin 8.
The Guinness Storehouse is pulling out all the stops to host a St. Patrick’s celebration unlike any other. From roving trad performers, local choirs and brass bands, the seven floors of the Guinness Storehouse will be buzzing with over 100 acts and entertainment as part of the ticketed experience.
A St Patrick’s special Taste Mór show will run throughout the day from March 13th to March 17th, treating visitors to a dynamic line up of local music headliners on stage throughout the day. Acts include the powerhouse vocals of Lyra, captivating sounds of DUG, trad brilliance of The Bonny Men, soulful melodies of Niamh McCrystal and the rousing folk of The Railway Boys. Electro trad artist Caoimhín will also be performing throughout the day, with a new spectacle created especially for the Guinness Storehouse for the St. Patrick’s festivities.
The fourth floor of the Guinness Storehouse will be the centre for all things Gaeilge across the festivities, with daily programme of caint agus ceol designed to be inclusive for both Gaeilgeorí and those who want to learn a cúpla focal. A ciorcal cainte will roam the floor throughout the day, teaching visitors Irish phrases, accompanied by trad and folk fusion music group Faro.
Visual arts will be central to the festivities this year and will feature incredible artwork by local artists including Claire Prouvost throughout the building. Guests can immerse themselves in art as they make their way through each floor to the Gravity Bar, with art installations and a dramatic gallery of works by the Minaw Collective, a female, queer and non-binary collective, hung through the central atrium.
A host of seasonal food specials and bespoke festival pop ups will feature across the building and extend out to the cobbles. Galway’s Chipeen, formerly Prátaí, will be popping up in Dublin for the first time ever, bringing their delicious chips to the menu. Visitors can also enjoy all-day dining from across the Guinness Storehouse’s three restaurants, served with a side of iconic Dublin views! Arthur’s Bar will add to the music line up with a daily roster of live music to entertain.
Ahead of the festivities, Catherine Toolan, Managing Director of Diageo Irish Brand Homes said “It gives us great pleasure to launch what promises to be an unforgettable St Patrick’s Day celebration, showcasing the very best of Irish culture and creativity. The vibrant spirit of connection and celebration truly comes to life at the Guinness Storehouse, and we look forward to welcoming guests to experience music, art, and more at the Home of Guinness here in the heart of Dublin 8.”
