Decorating the Christmas Tree in Fitzwilliam Square
The Fitzwilliam Square Association has kindly invited members of the Residents' Association to the decoration of their Christmas Tree in Fitzwilliam Square on Sunday next, December 15th, from 2.30 - 4.00 p.m. Mulled wine and minced pies will be served. All members are welcome and they especially welcome children to assist them in decorating the tree in preparation for santa.
Christmas on the Square
I have been asked by The Irish Architectural Archive to communicate the return of our pop up "Christmas on the Square".
The event is taking place between 10 am and 5 pm in the Irish Architectural Archive, 45 Merrion Square, Dublin 2 on Saturday, Nov. 30th.
Christmas on the Square is a great place to pick up Christmas Gifts created by Irish designers and craftspeople.
They will be serving mulled wine during the day and we are hoping for a visit from Santa himself who has promised to drop in and say hello!
Christmas Drinks
All residents are invited to McGrattan's Bar, Fitzwilliam Lane on Thursday, November 28th, from 8 p.m. for Christmas drinks. This will be an informal evening and an opportunity for neighbours to get to know one another in a convivial setting.
