Free to do in Cork: Crawford Art Gallery

27 September 2013 By Luna Dizon
Cork's cultural scene is one to rival that of the Dublin. Live music every night of the week, a new Opera House and several art galleries too. I visit the Crawford Art Gallery, which I'm surprised to find has more than I could have imagined. From Greco-Roman sculptures to paintings of Irish landscapes and modern art care of Robert Ballach and over 50 artists that are part of an inclusive arts programme. Just like that programme, Crawford Art Gallery is inclusive when it comes to its visitors too... in fact, it's free!

Traditional Irish music and great stout at Sin É, Cork

Get properly into the Irish spirit by enjoy the charms of a traditional Irish pub, drinking a pint of local beer and listening to some traditional Irish music. On a recent trip to Cork, I go to Sin É and find a warm and friendly atmosphere as well as all of the above. They have live music on pretty much every night and is one of the best places in the city (or even the county) to hear some traditional Irish music. Keep on reading to find out more...

Gathering in Cork for Rebel Week, October

25 September 2013 By Luna Dizon
Throughout the year, people have been gathering in Ireland... Why? For The Gathering of course! The Gathering is basically a great excuse to have an event or come to Ireland for the many events especially put on to celebrate Ireland and welcome all (especially those friends and family who live away) to join in. As I was in Cork recently, we take a quick look at one of Cork's big gatherings: Cork Rebel Week. It's on in October and you can expect lots. Planning an Autumn getaway? Why not head to the rebel county...

Foodie-licious at the English Market in Cork

24 September 2013 By Luna Dizon
I do love a good food market and the English Market in Cork city is certainly one of the best (even Rick Stein thinks so!). It's one of the oldest covered markets in the world and sells everything from meat to cheese and preserves to olives. You can even pick up a vintage dress here! If you're visiting the city and want to taste some of the best produce the region (and Ireland) has to offer, the English Market is a must. Read our post to find out more - as well as why it's curiously named the English Market...
