There's all-day parties, bottomless brunches and even puppy yoga on the agenda for this St Patrick's Day
St Patrick’s Day is a holiday that has become fully embedded into the history of Manchester over the years. In fact, it’s now believed that around 35 percent of the city’s population today have some form of Irish ancestry.
As usual, Manchester is going big on the celebrations this year and will see the return of the city’s ever-popular Irish Festival. There will also be art trails, bottomless brunches, special pub nights, live shows and even a DJ night playing everything Irish from B*Witched to The Cranberries. Alongside Francis McIlduff on uilleann pipes, whistles and bodhran and Brendan Quinn on guitar, vocals and stomp, The John McSherry Trio will perform music from their live debut album Féile. Tickets from £22.75 here.
A pint at Mulligans Mulligans, based just off Deansgate, was just this week named one of the top 10 pubs in the country for a perfect pint of Guinness by the brewery. Landlord Pádraig Brady said being "consistently consistent", was the key to his quality pints, which have attracted stout aficionados from across the country.
12 Hour Non-Stop Free St Patricks Day Party, The Union Set to be the longest celebration here in Manchester, The Union pub in Levenshulme is hosting a 12-hour St Paddy’s party to celebrate its 101st birthday. The Irish Nation exhibition has been commissioned by Irish Mancunian, an organisation that curates cultural events of Irish interest for Manchester audiences, alongside support from art producer Wild In Art, who are behind the Bee in the City project. More details and locations here.
The Irish pub, on Princess Street, will kick the day off at 10am with their famous Irish Breakfast, with live music taking place throughout the rest of the day from the likes of Lochin, Joe Keegan & Green Hot Clover. Entry is free. On St Patrick's Day, there will karaoke from 5pm followed by a St Patrick's Day special of drag show SugarPops from 10pm hosted by Jackie. All the details here.
