If you’re looking for things to do in Dublin this summer, you’ll find lots of inspiration here! Ireland’s ‘Breath of Fresh Air’ has activities to suit the all tastes and age groups, from family days out to gorgeous picnic spots to something for the more adventurous. Of course, the list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the fun happening at Shelbourne Park stadium this summer, so read on to find out what’s on and where to go first. Where will you start?

Immerse yourself in music

Fans of music won’t be disappointed this summer with a host of festivals, concerts, gigs and tours happening in Dublin to appeal to all tastes. From big headline acts to household names to indie bands there is something for everyone this summer in Dublin when it comes to music. Search for upcoming acts and tickets, then grab your tent and wellies or your best dancing shoes and get ready to immerse yourself in music in Dublin this summer.

Feed your curiosity

If you’re a self-proclaimed foodie, then you’ll love what Dublin has to tempt your taste buds this summer. Culinary food tours, including, of course, the iconic Guinness factory, local markets, cookery schools and artisan academies all offer creative ways to feed your curiosity (and yourself, while you’re at it) this summer in Dublin. If you love good food but would prefer a more low-key approach to dining this summer, why not simply pack a picnic with your favourite treats and head off to one of Dublin’s parks or beauty spots to feast in peace? For a fine dining experience, you can also book a great deal with our grandstand restaurant and enjoy three or four courses of exquisite food and fine wine.

Do something with a difference

Have you considered a night at the dogs for something totally different this summer? Our Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium will be packed with exciting racing action this July and August, and with fantastic offers and tailored group packages available, we can cater for whatever you have in mind.  Enjoy a fine dining experience in our grandstand restaurant, or snack on bar nibbles and beers while you cheer on your chosen greyhound.

We’re family friendly, ideal for tourists, work nights out, birthdays and hen and stag parties – why not try something different this summer?

World Cup Fever

It’s going to be impossible to escape World Cup fever this summer, so if you can’t avoid it – embrace it! We’ll be showing matches in our stadium on our big screens, so why not pop down with some mates and make a night of it?  

Outdoor adventure awaits

If you can’t wait to get outdoors and embrace everything summer in Dublin has to offer, then you’ll love getting stuck into outdoor activities like water sports, cycling, rock climbing and more. Even if you’re not a total adrenaline junkie, there’s nothing stopping you from enjoying your own, slightly more sedate, outdoor adventure, like exploring one of the beautiful beaches or a hidden part of the stunning coastline outside of Dublin.

Whatever you’re doing this summer, we hope you have a great one!
