Construction of the incredible Christmas in the Courtyard all-glass orangery has finally been completed, as the 500th and final glass panel was secured. After 18,000 man-hours of construction, the heated all-glass building sits in the centre of the stunning Royal Hospital Kilmainham courtyard, allowing this beautiful and historic setting to be enjoyed like never before. The ‘glass mansion’ boasts a height of 7.5 metres, and 45m in width, making it a glass structure to a scale Dublin has never seen.
There will be a total of 25 fabulous and festive events throughout the 4-week run, coming to a close on December 18th. Now that the iconic structure is ready to welcome festive revellers, Christmas in the Courtyard has revealed its much anticipated full calendar of festivities for the first time.
Events cater to almost all interests and budgets, from a girl’s lunch with Pippa O’Connor, to their pinnacle ‘Art of Dining’ experiences every Thursday and Friday night, to Bingo Loco welcoming party-goers every Saturday. There is even a drag brunch with Ireland’s favourite drag queens, Davina Devine and Victoria’s Secret, which is set to be equally fabulous, festive and hilarious.
The jam-packed itinerary offers a festive playground of events for all (18+) this winter season:
