5 fab things to do in Dublin for the May Bank Holiday weekend

Long weekends are our favourite weekends. Not only do we get three days off work, but there's also so much time to squeeze in trips and activities.

And this May Bank Holiday will certainly not disappoint with markets, music, and more.

Here are five fab things to do this weekend:

1. Designer Mart, Cow's Lane

If you have a quirky and unusual style then you'll love the Designer Mart in Temple Barm which opens on Saturday from 10am – 5pm.

All made by Irish designers, you can get your hands on photography, paintings, handcrafted bags, sculptures, jewellery and more.

 

2. Whelan's

You can always trust Whelan's to bring you some great gigs on a Bank Holiday, but this one will seriously bring out the nostalgia in you.

Wheatus are performing in the venue on Monday night at 8pm and tickets are a total steal at €18.

 

3. Live Well 

Taking place tonight from 6pm to 11pm, Live Well Dublin is an evening full of wellness, nutrition, fitness activites and mental health advice.

With a series of work shops and live demo, the Chocolate Factory will be full to the brim of all things thought-provoking and inspirational.

 

4. Film time

The Irish Film Institute is hosting a Mystery Matinee and it's pretty much what it says on the tin.

You buy a movie ticket, but will have no idea what movie you're going into until you're sitting down in the cinema.Tickets are €9.50 and you can find them here.

 

5. Theatre action

The stage adaptation of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time is taking place in the Bord Gais Energy Theatre this week.

The play runs until Sunday with tickets ranging from €15 – €55 and you can get there here.
