Grub's up in Dublin

For a scrumptious holiday this summer why not fly to Dublin and combine sightseeing with a spot of Irish food and drink tasting?

The Taste of Dublin festival will take place between June 12th and 15th and will see 25 of the city's best chefs and restaurants convene in Iveagh Gardens to come up with more than 75 signature dishes for visitors to sample.

A host of beverages from themed bars, speciality suppliers and gourmet food exhibitors will also be on hand to provide some liquid refreshment.

Entertainment will be available in the form of live jazz, dance, comedy and theatrical performances by artists and companies hailing from Dublin.

You can also take the opportunity to see a variety of visitor attractions in the city, including the Dublin Writers Museum, the original Guinness brewery and the National Gallery of Ireland.
