Irish Culture Night 2012
Every September locals and visitors across Ireland enjoy the unique experience of Culture Night, a free night of entertainment, arts and adventure taking place in towns and cities across Ireland. Following on from a very successful London event last year, for the first time FIS will be bringing Culture Night to four cities in Britain to celebrate all the fantastic Irish culture that happens here.
