The Guinness Storehouse has become a hive of activity over the St. Patricks Day Weekends in recent years and this year it’s no different with a concoction of arts, music, dancing, food and of course, the rugby.
Running from March 14th through to the 17th, You can catch The Corona’s opening the affairs on the Friday night, with one lucky fan getting selected to meet the band before the show. Tickets for that are €16 available from http://www.guinness-storehouse.com/en/St-Patricks-Day-2014.aspx.
Off The Ball will be broadcasting live with Ger Gilroy hosting Marcus Hora and Malcolm O’Kelly and Stephen Ferris on the panel for Saturday’s Rugby showdown with France. Culinary special tribute to Brian O’Driscoll will be available called Rugby Ball Pie, while the match will be on the big screens throughout.
Oh and as always, apart from The Corona’s concert, Patricks, Paddy’s, Patricia’s and all blends of Patricks, get in free.
