We asked everyone in our staff what the best pubs in Dublin were, and we found the answers, in no particular order. (Bear in mind, we are in fact experts at “the sesh”) In no particular order: The Gravedigger’s Pub (Kavanagh’s) This historic pub was opened exactly one year after the Glasnevin Cemetery opened in…

On Thursday, I got the opportunity to attend a very special event, the Glasnevin Cemetery Timeline update.  Glasnevin Cemetery view from the Visitor Centre If you’ve never had the pleasure of visiting the Glasnevin Cemetery, there is a visitor’s centre that showcases the bigger names, and the smaller names, buried or cremated in the cemetery….

As someone who has spent most of their time in the Gate sequestered to the tech box, having the experience of being a punter rather than an operator was one I really missed. The Gate is such a beautiful building in and of itself, and has – rare in the theatre world – bar prices…
