Evening of Sunday 15th April 2018
There are no scheduled workshop activities on Sunday 15th April. However, if anyone wants to meet on the evening of Sunday 15th, we suggest The Gingerman Pub at 40 Fenian Street. The Gingerman is around 100 metres from Trinity College and is 400 metres (5-6 minutes by foot) from the Science Gallery.
The Gingerman is a popular local pub that serves good pub food. City centre pubs that serve food can be susprisingly busy on a Sunday evening. But the according to the barman, the bar upstairs in the Gingerman is typically less busy than downstairs on a Sunday.
