Now in its third year, the Merrion Square Open Day is a day of special events celebrating the rich and diverse heritage of Merrion Square and its surroundings. Explore Georgian Dublin in a relaxed and informal programme, taking in the houses, gardens, and churches at the heart of the city. Visitors will have an opportunity to see properties not often open to the public and enjoy special talks, walks, workshops, and music in historic churches in a programme with something for everyone.
The event is organised by Electricity Supply Board (Number Twenty Nine Fitzwilliam Street Lower), the Irish Architectural Archive, the Irish Georgian Society, and St. Stephen’s Parish Church. With the participation of the Central Catholic Library, the Irish Landmark Trust, the Mercy International Centre, the National University of Ireland, the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland, and The Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland.
Places for the talks, walks, and music are limited so booking is recommended.

Oh the irony!
And clearly isn’t working either, given they go and spill half a tankard of pink paint over their HQ.
Croagh Patrick isn’t doing hot coals yet is it?
Ah sure, it could have been a lot worse!

It didn’t this year but if they went the traditional route and walked to the reek then the soles of their feet would surely exhibit similar levels of cleansing!
Brilliant Morlan 😀
Dublin’s answer to the Royal Crescent.
It’s actually quite appealing, in a monolithic kinda way…
And in the distance, for once it’s a modern facade cloaking Georgian buildings rather than the other way around…Is it wrong that I think that’s really cool?
yes/ yes it is. Brilliant image. In fact Lower Mount street would have been better if they’d done that rather than crud after crud from the junction in the distance to the canal. Maybe not
