This year, St Patrick's Day will be unlike any other. There may not be a parade to go to in your local town, but there is a wealth of 'craic' to be had online, as many of our festival providers have adapted their offerings to ensure that everyone of Irish ancestry can celebrate their heritage from the safety of their home.
Here you will find a selection of virtual events that are happening next week. Be sure to don your cap and pin on the shamrock when you join in, and let's mark this special occasion together, in a new way.
