Advice for Visitors

Arrive early: entry is not guaranteed and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Families with small children are advised to arrive before 3pm.
There will be no entry to the event after 6pm.
Although the weather will hopefully be good, be prepared for rain! Have a raincoat handy and wear waterproof footwear. Umbrellas are not recommended, as these may be confiscated for health and safety reasons.
On a more optimistic note, be prepared for sun! Bring a good supply of sun protection, a hat and plenty of drinking water.
If you intend staying for the entire afternoon, pack a picnic and some snacks with a supply of drinking water too. Remember, you will be required to clean up after yourself, so bring a bag to pack any rubbish and take it home with you for recycling or for the bin.
There are limited car-parking facilities available in the vicinity of the Iveagh Gardens. It is advisable to take public transport to the ‘Africa Day @ Iveagh Gardens’ event (the ‘Harcourt Street’ stop on the Green Luas Line will leave you within a couple of minutes walking distance from the venue).
A timetable for this event and a map of the gardens will be provided at the entry point. Please note all information points as you enter the venue.
Look after your belongings.
The event closes at 8pm.
