social programme

Expect an Irish welcome from day one with Irish music, dancing and song. The social programme promises to be great fun whether you have come by yourself, with your friends or your family. Join us for nights on the town, a grand Irish Céilí (Irish dancing session in which you will be encouraged to join in), a dinner banquet in the leafy surrounds of University College Dublin and an Opening Ceremony which promises a bit of gambling, horses, dogs and people!

Take time out from lectures and meet up with friends in the comfort of the coffee bays or on the sunny green grass of the 40 acres in the Royal Dublin Society grounds.
