This is another big week with Longitude in Marlay park. The Sunday line-up is quite divine, with the National headlining the day. There’s also Palfest – “Arts festival demonstrating solidarity with the people of Palestine”. If you feel like a road trip, there’s the Galway Arts Festival, which sounds like a lot of fun.

There’s an adaptation of the Spinning Heart by Donal Ryan at Smock Alley, along with a short run of King Lear. The Weir is at the Pavillion in Dun Laoghaire.

The Patrick Hennessy Exhibition at IMMA is worth checking out.
