Celebrating Valentine’s Day in Dublin

February 9, 2012

{Sweet free printable card from Sarah Jane Studios!}

Turns out this city isn’t quite as grinch-y as I am when it comes to Valentine’s Day. Check out these fun ideas for celebrating love around Dublin!

Woo at the Zoo. Points for the hilarious name of the Zoo’s celebration of Valentine’s Day. They’re holding talks by zoo experts on courtship, mating and how scaly animals manage to do the deed. Not sure how suitable for your kiddos, but way to turn a holiday into a learning experience!

A Date with Dublin. The Temple Bar Cultural Trust is running twelve hours of events on Valentine’s Day, from noon to midnight. They’ve come up with lots of interesting ideas, from a tour of the National Gallery of Art to look at the most romantic paintings, to musical performances at the Shrine of St. Valentine.

Book Speed Dating. Stop by the Gutter Bookshop and their literary experts will try to match you with your ideal read. Clever! 

Vintage Valentine’s Day Dress Dance at the Workman’s Club. I don’t know too much about the Workman’s Club, but this sounds fun! Wear your best vintage outfit and dance all night!

      I know you’ll have to wait a while, but I think the Denver Zoo does a really cool Christmas event with lots of lights? I’ve never been, but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard good things!
