Life
Life: Castle Palooza
Nominated for the best European festival last year, Castle Palooza in the gorgeous surroundings of Charleville Castle, Tullamore, is back for its fourth year of alternative Irish and international acts over the August bank holiday weekend.
Life: Kilkeny arts festival
Kilkenny Arts Festival from August 7th to 16th is a 10-day feast of visual art, classical music, theatre, dance, jazz, world and traditional Irish music. It also includes literature, film, architecture, indie music, craft and children's events, with each strand curated by a professional in that area.
Life: Present Laughter
Despite being almost 70 years old, Present Laughter by Noel Coward at the Gate is still highly entertaining. A farcical, black comedy about an aging matinee idol played by Stephen Brennan.
Life: Tall ships in Belfast
Belfast is the host port of the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge. The magnificent spectacle of the tall ships arrives into Belfast for four days from August 13th-16th, co-inciding with a series of family and evening events spread over five sites in Belfast Harbour.
