• Dublin after hours
  In 2022 the Department for Tourism introduced a new pilot scheme to support the night life economy of Dublin and other Irish destinations by funding opportunities for museums and galleries to open later into the night. Extending opening hours in this way will help to drive more events within these venues such as live DJs, dancing, exhibitions, poetry readings, comedy shows, theatre, film, live podcasts, storytelling, classes and wellbeing initiatives, making the venues more accessible to a much wider audience. Museums and galleries can apply for up to €10,000 in funding to host late night events this year. The pilot has been very successful and several galleries such as Dublin’s Hugh Lane Gallery have already begun to programme more events later into the evening.
