Kojaque, EDEN & Béar Féile Dublin

Greetings from The Third Castle!

Spring has officially landed on Dublin City Centre's calendar with a thud. Between Seachtain na Gaeilge events winding their way through the week, a wall-to-wall Paddy's weekend lineup, and the kind of gig schedule that makes you wish you could clone yourself, this edition of Third Castle is genuinely stacked.

Here's what's in store this week:

⚫️ Live music from Christy Moore, Madison Cunningham, Alfa Mist & a massive Paddy's Day lineup

⚫️ Theatre, dance, film & Seachtain na Gaeilge across the city

⚫️ Bears, CRAICADEMIA, Nordic spas & the city's quirkier offerings

Let's dive in 👇
