“Best Traditional Dinner/Entertainment Event in Ireland in 2017, 2018 & 2019”
Winner of "Music Pub of the Year in Ireland"

Enjoy a traditional Irish dinner followed by live music and dancing at the Merry Ploughboy, about 20 minutes outside the city. This show is considered a must-see for any visitor to Dublin. 

Named after the ballad of the 1916 rebellion, The Merry Ploughboys are a traditional folk group from Dublin, Ireland, who have been “singing it like they mean it” for 30 years, with gutsy and engaging vocals backed by arrangements of fiddle, mandolin, and guitar and often joined by uilleann pipes, whistle, or tenor banjo.

The repertoire spans humorous old Dublin music hall and street-songs, classic ballads from 19th and 20th century Irish history, and timeless songs of emigration and romance. Traditional Irish dancers take a turn on stage and wow you with their grace and stamina. 

You may purchase a ticket for yourself and (a) guest during registration. Tickets are US$ 80 each and include transportation, a three-course dinner, the show, plus coffee and tea. Alcoholic beverages at dinner may be purchased at your own expense.
