Celebrating St Patrick’s Day in a different way in Downpatrick

Many St Patrick’s Day celebrations won’t be on the cards this year due to Covid-19 restrictions but The Saint Patrick Centre in Co. Down have prepared an online performance which includes music, dance and iconic imagery honouring the saint.

‘The Saint Patrick Show – A Musical and Visual Tale from Ancient to Modern Times’ will be brought to audiences online at 3pm and 7pm on March 17 this year.

This 45-minute show will be performed at The Saint Patrick Centre in Downpatrick, the home of St Patrick in Ireland and will bring audiences on a journey through the ages.

Inspired by stories and legends from St Patrick’s time up until modern day Irish poetry, the Saint Patrick Show features 2021 Grammy nominated Fontaines DC frontman, Grian Chatten, Matthew Campbell from the Shamrock Tenors, soprano Mary McCabe, and other Irish artists.

This launch event is a precursor to a series of live events that will be held at Downpatrick starting in summer 2021 (when Covid restrictions allow).
