Culture Night is tomorrow, here are some of the events you can still attend

A celebration of culture around Ireland, Culture Night encompasses thousands of events across many disciplines of arts and culture, from music to photography. The Arts Council work with local organisations to put together this coordinated event, and this year there will be a mix of in-person and online events, all taking place tomorrow, September 17.

Some of the in-person events have sold out, but there are still plenty to choose from. Here are just a few that are still available. Check out the Culture Night website for the full schedule of events.
