Taking in both sides of the Liffey, Dublin 8 is home to the likes of Kilmainham Jail, the Phoenix Park, Dublinia, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the War Memorial Gardens.
On May 14th and 15th they’ll be celebrated during the annual Culture Date with Dublin 8 festival.
According to Project manager Grace McEvoy, there will be a twilight market at the Digital hub, a LEGO treasure hunt for kids at Marsh’s library, and free tours of Kilmainham gaol for 8-12 year-olds.
