Curious Gardens, presented by Schweppe Curtis Nunn and Emperor’s Robes in partnership with the Office of Public Works.
A one-day festival of tunes, chats and laughs in the walled gardens of Emo Court, curated and produced by the people who bring you MindField, Trailer Park and Salty Dog at Electric Picnic. Join us in the beautiful intimate surroundings of these historic walled gardens to enjoy the essence of the Irish summer festival.
