The Irish are well known for their love of horses.<br />
For a great day out, why not head to the races.<br />
<br />
From June to August,you can head to Live at Leopardstown,<br />
9 summer evenings of festival fun, live horse racing followed by a live concert, <br />
all for only €15 per ticket.<br />
For further details check out <a href="http://www.leopardstown.com/" target="_blank">www.leopardstown.com</a>.<br />

I recently saw David McSavage in The Seven Oaks in Carlow, and found he was much funnier than I thought he would be but his show is definitely not for the faint hearted.<br />
<br />
With his politically incorrect take on Irish society, from The Joe Duffy Show, to the Gardai and The Church, if you are easily offended, his show won't be for you.<br />
<br />
Check out the video below - it's a preview of his TV show, and is a taste of what to expect.<br />

I was at the Vodafone comedy festival myself last year, and had a great night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The event was run very well, although there was a wait at the bar but then there always is!</div>

</span>Iveagh Gardens will
be packed with great food, drink and entertainment for you to sample and promises to be an even greater success than last year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
With advanced bookings online starting at €23.50 or €28.50
on the gate, you can see celebrity chefs like Jamie Oliver, Nevin
Maguire, Kevin Dundon, Jean Christophe Novelli and Rachel Allen demonstrating
their culinary skills up close and personal. </div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
There is always great bands on too to entertain you while
you stroll around soaking up the sun (hopefully) and sample all of the
different tasters.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
You can also buy Florins there or online (1florin = 1Euro)
to buy the many fine produce on offer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
It’s a great day out, I have been many times myself, but be sure
to have a big Irish breakfast before you go especially if you plan on visiting
the O’Bien Wine tent!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
Even though you will be tasting loads of different foods and
drink, the samples are all quite small.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Okay the weather forecast is not looking too good for the upcoming
bank holiday weekend (or the rest of the summer by all accounts)! So as there’s not much chance of sitting out and
sunning yourself in a beer garden with a cold drink this long weekend, why
not get out and about and check out the many events on in Dublin.</div>

Forbidden Fruit Festival</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
You could
always head along to the Forbidden Fruit Festival in Kilmainham, a 3 day
multi-stage music and arts festival. Winner of the Best New Festival at the
Irish Festival Awards for 2011, it has an impressive eclectic and alternative line-up
for 2012, along with a new comedy tent and plenty of fashion, crafts and delicious
food.<br />
<br />
Tickets are
still available starting at €49.50 and as the festival has teamed up with DePaul, you will
also be supporting a worthwhile Irish charity.<br />
