For a night out with a difference!

If you’ve never been to a drag night then my friend, you are missing out.

From spectacular shows that pull out all the stops to more simple nights which invite you to come in drag yourself, grab a drink and have a laugh, Ireland has copious drag nights and events happening all throughout the year and something which you should definitely contemplating hitting up this year.

Some drag events happen at bars and clubs weekly while others are once-off events which take place in bigger venues. There is an array of options to choose from depending on the night you are looking for. As we like to say, depending on whether you want to go “out” or “out, out”.

Tempted? Of course you are, here are just some of the events taking place in the next few months around Ireland.
