About this event

Thirty minutes in front of one painting: Erskine Nicol's crowded, argumentative Donnybrook Fair, unpacked for the Dublin Festival of History. Seating is provided in the gallery room, which makes it an easy lunchtime stop rather than a standing endurance test. Come in by the Clare Street door and ask any staff member for Room 19.

Why we picked it

A lunch break that turns into a festival event, with seating and no booking, minutes from Trinity and the city-centre offices.
