    Hi, I'm not too familiar with Dublin, and looking for some advice on transport. Is it easy to get from Dublin City Centre to St Annes Park, and back, on concert days? Is there a dart service or bus only? Thank you :)

    DART to Harmonstown and you're a ten minute walk from the entrance to the concert (still another 10 minutes to the venue itself).

    29A/31/32 bus off at the Top garage on the Howth Road and you're a 5 minute walk from the entrance.

    130 off at Vernon avenue and you're a 5 minute walk [longest option by far, 130 takes about a year to get there].

    I've never been around it on concert days but it's well connected transport wise so there should be no issue. DART is probably the easiest and fastest depending on where you're trying to get to in town.

    Depends where in the park you are going. 130 would be the option I would take for most of the park. On a fine day, it's quite a nice walk out from town.

    For the concerts take the 29a and ask the driver to let you off at the tennis courts (st. Anne’s) You will bypass the main entrance to the concert and enter through another route which is 5 minutes to the venue. Enjoy!

    Are the buses likely to be packed though?

    Dart is further walk but more capacity.

    Last year it didn’t look like many people were aware of the 29a after the concerts. If it was myself I’d take the 29a there and exit through the same route after the concerts and take the short walk to Raheny Dart station. You’ll pass a few 29a bus stops on the way and can make a judgment if it’s worth waiting at the stop.

    I completely forgot there was an entrance at the Tennis Courts for these concerts. Yeah, that's probably the best shout. I was just thinking of the gate beside St Pauls as that is the main entrance for these concerts.
