Well our lovely Isaacs hostellers’ Events and Festival in Dublin get in to full swing in June and the big challenge will be deciding what to squeeze in during your stay. Here are some amazingly diverse events in Dublin for you to get your head around.

Bloomsday Festival 11- 16^th June http://bloomsdayfestival.ie/programme/

Whether you ever read James Joyce’s Ulysses or not (more did n’t than did if we are honest! ) you should still partake in some of the madness of Bloomsday which celebrates June 16^th a day in Dublin as depicted in Ulysses. From the Bizarre Bloomsday Brunch on Sunday 14th on Great Georges Street North to donning a boater hat and riding a bike around the Dublin to see the City through the eccentric eyes of James Joyce – there is loads happening in 2015 for Bloomsday.You might even be inspired to read the Book!

Science Gallery Homesick until 19th July https://dublin.sciencegallery.com/homesick

Discover the latest Homesick Exhibition at The Dublin Science Gallery . This experience looks at the meanings of home, from rubbish to robots and microbes to micro-dwellings, asking whether the changing nature of home is for better or worse. It’s free and well worth an hour or two out of your day particularly in inclement weather (of which we have to admit does happen in Ireland )

Body and Soul Festival 19- 21^st June http://bodyandsoul.ie/music/festival-overview/

This small but perfectly formed cult festival in the amazing setting of Ballinglough Castle in Westmeath is an entire experience. Takes place within a 15 century walled garden, it showcases a brilliant line up, secret hideaways and glittering late night discos in the woodlands, an inspirational art trail, spoken word and debate, a magnificent masquerade ball, culinary feasts, steaming hot tubs and seaweed baths and much more. It appeals to both fans of electronic music as to nature lovers, to families with young kids as to the 30 somethings that like the finer things in life, to foodies as to folkies, funksters as to late night revellers.
