Best Events in August

Looking for fun things to do this August? Join Flight Club as the Social Darts purveyors team bottomless brunch with paddle pizzas and the chance to challenge your pals to a few rounds in the oche.

Has the doom and gloom of 2020 made you wish you could go back in time? Head to the Clifden for a 90s-inspired brunch that'll surely  make you stop right now and feel a whole lot better, with a soundtrack of classic anthems, delicious dishes, refreshing drinks and plenty of fun and games.

The Reggae Brunch is providing some much-needed tropical vibes this summer. Head to one of their awesome parties and you'll get down to reggae, soca, calypso and more with delicious jerk dishes and free-flowing cocktails to fill your Saturday afternoon. 

It may seem like the makings of a wholesome day out, but this canal-cruising picnic is packing a boozy punch.
