The programme offers great value fun, discovery and entertainment with the aim of bringing culture closer to everyone young and old, families and friends.

New additions on the programme include The Summer Sensational, a unique and unmissable programme of exciting events promising summer magic and sensory overload, as well as a dedicated audience programme including Get Active, a cultural initiative for the active retired or Temple Bar’s Culture Club for Kids to ensure the fun won’t stop.

Commenting on the 2010 programme, Dermot McLaughlin, CEO of Temple Bar Cultural Trust, said “The 2010 programme of events is about bringing culture closer to everyone.  We want to create memorable, entertaining experiences which offer value for time and money. Our events include something to suit people of all ages, so friends and families can share fun experiences and learn something about their culture at the same time. The open spaces in Temple Bar and in the Old City area are built on cultural heritage making them ideal for our events.”

As well as fun filled events, Temple Bar is also home to three outdoor markets run by Temple Bar Cultural Trust which offer everything from hand designed clothes and visual art; mouth watering artisan food to vinyl’s and books.  Every Saturday and Sunday the Temple Bar Book Market, the only book market in Dublin located on the busiest junction of Temple Bar at Temple Bar Square hailed as a haven for book worms and music lovers alike, offers a selection of old and new titles, novels and antique vinyls. A favourite among foodies, the Temple Bar Food Market offers locally produced fresh fruit and vegetables and delicious artisan foods each Saturday in Meeting House Square.
