Acclaimed comic Dave Gorman comes to Vicar Street this Friday with his first live show in over three years.

A slick and clever show, not to be missed! Tickets cost €28 and can be purchased here.

Enjoy views of Dublin Castle and the city skyline while feeling the benefits of this ancient meditation. These are drop-in sessions and do not require booking. Suitable for all ages.

Also on view will be a range of arts and crafts from all corners of the globe. There will also be a laughter yoga session, activities for kids and several workshops running throughout the day. Live music gives the market an authentic and lively ambience, making Fusion Sundays a family event not to be missed.
