St. Patrick’s Day Festival kicks off this week, and runs form the 14th to the 17th of March. There’s lots of cool events on around the city and a lot of them free, so check out the full line up here. There are Mad Myths for children, Street Theatre on Cow’s Lane, Treasure Hunts and a talk with Colm Meaney on the Snapper.

There’s some new pieces of theatre, with Hollow Ground at Theatre Upstairs, Liam Hallahan buries his dad live on Stage at Smock Alley and Down and Out in Paris and London in Bewleys.

On the gigs scene, there’s the Unthanks, Naoise Roo, 2manydjs and Royal Blood (long since sold out), so go explore!
