• First Fortnight

  Now in its seventh year, First Fortnight is an arts
  festival with a difference. The aim of the festival
  is to raise awareness of mental health issues and
  allow them to be discussed in an open way, thus breaking
  down the stigma that is far too often associated with such
  problems.

• Newgrange

  Every year, a handful of lucky people gather at Newgrange,
  about 40 minutes north of Dublin, for the Winter Solstice on
  December 21st. There they hope to see the sunlight seep into
  the chamber to illuminate the carefully positioned interior, just as
  they did 5,000 years ago when they were originally built. But even
  if you’re not lucky enough to visit for the Solstice, Newgrange is
  a breathtaking place that is worth visiting all year round.

• Temple Bar TradFest
• The Vibe for philo
• Frank McConut Museum
• Blarney Castle

  Blarney Castle was built nearly
  six hundred years ago by one of
  Ireland’s greatest chieftains, Cormac
  MacCarthy, and has been attracting
  visitors to Munster ever since. People come
  from all over the world to kiss the Blarney
  Stone, only to leave with miraculous powers of
  eloquence.

• Out to Lunch Festival

  Out to Lunch, the bespoke, boutique Belfast Arts
  Festival returns to wipe away those post-holiday
  blues from 8 - 31 January. Now in its 11th year,
  this year’s Out to Lunch Festival promises to
  serve up a mouth-watering menu of live music, comedy,
  spoken word, literature and theatre during the lunchtimes and
  evenings of January.
