 Loud Annual New Year Tradition |
Saint Werburgh Street (The Deanery) Dublin Ireland +353 1 677 8099 http://www.cccdub.ie/ |
Every new year's eve, the Christ Church Cathedral Society of Change Ringers work overtime, literally ringing in the New Year with a deafening chorus of the Cathedral's world famous bells. Large crowds usually assemble outside the cathedral, nursing either their favourite yuletide beverage or the early stages of a crippling hangover, while cheering as the bells resonate throughout Dublin. Tours of the cathedral, available throughout the year, allow visitors to see the Ringers in action. Admission is free, but donations to the Cathedral are always welcome. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Loving the Irish |
14-15 Ormond Quay Upper Dublin, Leinster Ireland +353 87 990 3775 |
If only two things come to mind when thinking of the Irish (the color green and St.Patrick's Day) then you need to come here. This is a fun way to get to know the culture of Ireland and what better way than taking part in it? So spend 90 minutes learning to play the Bodhran (the traditional Irish drum), the Irish dance and be taught how to draw your own Celtic masterpiece. All three activities are steeped in history and are worth the time and effort spent in getting to know them. So, shed those inhibitions and dive right into it. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Temple Bar Cultural Trust |
12 East Essex Street Temple Bar Dublin 2, Ireland Ireland +353 1 677 2255 http:// www.templebar.ie |
This Cultural Quarter Centre in Dublin re-shaped the history of Temple Bar because it inspired it to develop and re-structure itself, thus leading to a project that was guided by an artist-led community. Support has been immense since the time of its reconstruction. The physicality of the location transcends itself into cultural activities, markets and movie festivals, so that you can have a host of things to do on the weekends. Bridging the Irish community together as critics say, The Outside Visual Arts (OVA) started by the Cultural Centre, gives a platform for world class performances and exposure to internationally acclaimed artists. Bands like Metallica have been featured at this centre and for the sound of music, you can attend the Guitar Festival of Ireland that takes place. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Bingo at the George Bar |
89 South Gt George's St The George Dublin Ireland +353 (0) 1 478 2983 |
Shirley Temple Bar is one of Dublin's hottest entertainment properties, and Bingo at the George offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy her acerbic wit and lineup of bingo stars. This hyperactive "schoolgirl" with a Eurovision fixation and personal fatwa against Boyzone, has rejuvenated Sunday evenings in the city; and the Bingo slot has become immensely popular. Come early or be prepared to queue. Fun and games start early. Review © 2007, Wcities |
