Spring Into The Dean: Your Seasonal Escape Awaits
There’s something magical about Spring in Ireland— cities buzz with creativity, the weather is turning and nature blossoms, and every day feels like an invitation to explore. Take the opportunity to plan your holiday to one of Ireland’s three most exciting cities—Dublin, Cork, or Galway—during their most picturesque period.
Each city offers such a unique perspective of Ireland’s beauty and charm, which really comes to life during the Spring season. The temperature is climbing, the hours of sunlight are stretching, and we want to invite you to be a part of it.
Spring is the perfect season to vacation in Ireland for so many reasons. The cities are not as busy as peak summer, giving you space to explore at your own pace. Longer daylight hours mean more time to wander the streets, soak in the scenery, and discover hidden gems. Plus, the weather is mild and ideal for outdoor adventures. It’s also one of the busiest periods for arts and cultural activities, making it a fantastic time to experience Ireland’s creative spirit.
Here’s a snapshot of what’s on this spring in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
Dublin
Venues in Dublin such as The National Botanic Gardens and The Iveagh Gardens (located just across the road from The Dean) completely transform in the Spring, gaining a new lease of life with daffodils and tulips making their annual appearance. Take a cycle around Phoenix Park and spot all the newborn baby deer, or venture to Malahide Castle and Gardens and be sure to pop into the butterfly house.
As well as all things nature, there are so many cultural events happening in Dublin during Spring. Highlights include The Dublin Dance Festival, visiting exhibitions at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), and the International Literature Festival in May. With the vibrant arts scene in full swing, it’s a great time to immerse yourself in the city’s creative energy.
Cork
Cork has an array of amazing venues of cultural and historical significance. Gain insight into Irish culture at Crawford Gallery or witness an Irish Céilí by The Lee at Crane Lane Theatre.
There is a huge lineup of events happening in Cork in Spring. The Open Ear Festival, Cork International Choral Festival, and Cork World Book Festival all shine a light on local and global talents, showcased in a stunning setting. The combination of cultural richness and Spring’s beauty makes Cork an unforgettable destination this time of year.
Galway
One of Ireland’s most iconic arts festivals takes place during Spring. The Galway Theatre Festival is held in May and features a mix of art forms such as circus and storytelling. If you’re up for a more adventurous experience, travel out of the city and partake in the Connemara Mountain Walking Festival or take a boat trip to the Aran Islands for breathtaking landscapes.
