School music tours to Dublin

Close to home
Appreciative audiences
Lively music scene

“Thanks very much for your excellent work on organising the tour, the students all had a fantastic week.”

Matt, Party leader, Merseyside

Venues across the city

Dublin’s musical scene is one of the richest in Europe and embraces all types of musical style. Every street corner seems to buzz with live music, from traditional Irish music-making in the countless pubs to classical concerts in the magnificent National Concert Hall at the heart of the city. Dublin also drips with literary connections; James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde all lived and worked in Dublin and there are many attractions across the city that can be visited. And, of course, there is lots of fun to be had in the city, ensuring a stay in Dublin is one our groups will never forget.
