    I haven't heard much about the events that are running on 25th September.

    I've just been looking at the website http://www.culturenight.ie/default.asp and there's just so much going on, would anyone like to recommend any of the events in particular?

    Thinking of bringing the kids (similar ages) to either the National Museum on Kildare St or the National Gallery.

    Was in Leinster House tonight for a tour. It was fantastic, and well worth going in for even though I was cream crackered after a hard weeks work!
    Town was hopping tonight, great atmosphere around the place.

    Agreed, atmosphere was quite cool. Kids had a wander around the relics in the museum before a short stroll around the National Gallery. Accomplished dancers were tangoing in the main hall of the Gallery and there was quite a buzz. My boys half thought it was an episode of Strictly Come Dancing :)

    I was in Conradh na Gaeilge, Alliance Francaise, Science Gallery TCD, Oisin Art Gallery, Temple Bar, ChristChurch, and back to see the light projection onto Trinity. Hope they bring it back next year! :-)

    Was it just me who found the website for this extremely badly designed?

    I found it tricky to find out the details of what on was on when and where in advance and to put together a plan of things.

    I got the feeling that I missed out on some good stuff because of the way things were organised.

    Also did anyone go to the foam party in the TCD? Would love to hear what it was like.

    I was expecting a big room with lots of music, frolics and foam in it :o But actually, it was their bubble exhibition! You could be in a human bubble, blow big bubbles, stick your hand into a bubble and so on. :)
