The singing pubs is a long standing tradition of the Wicklow Regatta Festival which sees the local pubs put on an hour long show including regulars who take to the stage to showcase their talent. We’ve seen some tremendous and memorable shows over the years with talented singers, dancers and comedians entertaining the huge crowds that attend and support their friends and family.
Show starts at 9.00pm but make sure you get in early for the best view and if you’re lucky a seat!
🚶♂️🎨 Next time you walk down East Pier (the one with the lighthouse), have you stopped to admire those incredible ship paintings? 🛳️✨
Now’s your chance to meet the artist behind this stunning, near-50-year project — Pat Davis!
Join Pat on July 26th at 7 PM for a unique guided tour along the East Pier walls, where he’ll share the fascinating stories behind each ship, his inspiration, and how this remarkable journey began.
Whether you’re a local or visitor, this is a rare opportunity to dive deep into Wicklow’s maritime heritage through the eyes of its master painter.
