Whats on in D8 Feb 2

What's on in D8: February Edition

February in D8 may be short, but it’s anything but quiet. As we head toward spring, the neighbourhood is alive with exhibitions, talks, gigs, workshops and plenty of Valentine’s themed happenings, offering lots of ways to gather, reflect, celebrate or simply get out of the house.

From new exhibitions and relaxed museum tours to candlelit concerts, quiz nights, football fixtures, trad sessions, family workshops and community events, there’s something happening most days of the month, whether you’re planning a special night out or just looking for a reason to pop around the corner ❤️🎨⚽🎶

Got something coming up in or around D8? Send us the details and we’ll be glad to include it 🙌
