Adult Group Concert Tours to Dublin, Ireland
Step into the storybook charm of Dublin
- Choirs
- Bands
- Orchestras
A land of historic monuments, rural countryside and traditional pubs, where the locals are real ‘salt of the earth’ kind of people, Ireland couldn’t offer a warmer welcome.
Close enough to reach yet far enough to feel like you’ve been away, Dublin is perfect for first-time tourers. Combine performances in grand cathedrals, small parish churches and local festivals with castle visits, brewery tours and day trips to the surrounding National Parks – all topped off with a post-performance pint O’Guinness.
Are you a youth music group? This tour is specifically designed with adult music groups in mind, so why not take a look at our extensive range of destinations perfect for youth groups?
