Express your cultural soul at the Royal Marine Hotel

Now in its tenth year, the Festival of World Cultures returns to Dun Laoghaire between the 23rd & 25th July 2010.

The Royal Marine Hotel is delighted to be part of this exciting experience. The Hotel will be transformed into a cultural delight over the weekend. The Hotel gardens will host the Royal Marine Hotel Garden Stage where steel pan players and gypsy traditional dancers can be seen along with many more exciting talents from all over the world.

Workshops and discussions from around the globe will take place in the Hotel; allowing participants to discover the musical instruments that lie in their kitchen, delve into their inner rhythm with the Samba Batacada Percussion Group and test their creative abilities with felt adventures with Caitrìona Nì Threasaigh. This to name but a few!

Why not “Journey through Europe and beyond”, at the European film festival which takes place in the hotel gardens. A series of multicultural films will be shown throughout the course of weekend starting at 1pm each day.

The Hotel will welcome an array of musical talents that will keep visitors entertained late into the evening. Come and have the cultural craic in Hardy's Bar where The Afro-Cuban Latin Jazz Band and Tucan can be heard expressing their musical soul.

Aswel as feeding your cultural curiosity, there will be no shortage of food, drink and merriment with an all day BBQ taking place in the hotel gardens.
