Dublin City Escape – The Magic of Trinity College

Looking for a Dublin city break with a difference? Step through the gates of Trinity College Dublin and immerse yourself in over 430 years of living history. During my stay, I discovered the wonderful new Trinity Trails Literary Walking Tour, before enjoying the superb new five-star theatre production Oscar Unwritten in the Samuel Beckett Theatre—a moving celebration of one of Ireland's greatest literary icons. Add delicious breakfasts at The Buttery, lunch at 1592, dinner and drinks at The Pav, beautiful leafy squares perfect for relaxing, the breathtaking Victorian Museum Building with its extraordinary Irish stonework, and a packed summer programme including open-air concerts and cricket on the famous College Park, and you'll discover there's so much more to Trinity than books and students. It's an erudite escape like no other—where every pathway tells a story and history is not simply preserved, but lived every single day. Discover it for yourself at VisitTrinity.ie. A huge thanks to Dearbhla MacFadden and Darajane for their wonderful hospitality. TCD is a forty seven acre walled campus with rooms available during the summer from €93

Oscar Unwritten at The Samuel Beckett Theatre

Oscar Unwritten is a play that explores Wilde’s life through Robbie Ross’s impossible question: should Oscar’s full story ever be told? As Ross wrestles with the decision he faced in reality, memory and imagination begin to blur, and the past comes vividly to life around him. Oscar Unwritten runs Wednesday - Sunday until 26 July 2026 at The Samuel Beckett Theatre in Trinity College Dublin. Tickets: https://www.visittrinity.ie/trinity-t...
