Public transport: Buses 18, 151 and 56A stop directly outside the castle. Buses 77A and 27 stop a 5 minute walk away (Eleanora pub). The redline Luas stops at Bluebell and Kylemore each about a 10 minute walk away.

There will be a picnic from 4PM. This will be a chicken paella with rice, chorizo, peppers, onions and peas cooked on a large pan over a wood fire. A small charge will be made to cover the cost of the food.

New people come along almost every week so don't be shy about introducing yourself.  It's a nice friendly gathering and you'll get know us socially at the end of the sketching. You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.
