If you’ve ever searched for the best Christmas theatre shows in the UK, wondered about Irish Christmas traditions, or dreamed of spending Christmas in a cosy Irish pub filled with live music and storytelling, you’re in exactly the right place.
Welcome to Stories from the Pub our brand new blog from the team behind Christmas in Ireland and the award-winning Seven Drunken Nights, one of the UK’s favourite Irish music theatre shows.
An Irish pub at Christmas isn’t special because of the building.
It’s special because of the people.
The moment you step inside from the cold.
The sound of laughter before you even reach the bar.
A familiar tune being played in the corner.
Someone making room for one more chair by the fire.
That’s the feeling we’ve spent years trying to recreate on stage.
Not just an evening of live Irish music.
Not just another Christmas concert.
But an experience that captures the warmth, humour and magic of Christmas in Ireland.
Every performance of Christmas in Ireland celebrates the traditions that make an Irish Christmas unforgettable timeless Irish songs, festive classics, storytelling, laughter and the unique atmosphere of an Irish pub where everyone feels welcome.
If you’re looking for Christmas entertainment in the UK, searching for Christmas theatre tickets, or simply love Irish folk music, we hope our show becomes part of your own festive tradition.
This blog is where we’ll share the stories behind the music, explore Irish Christmas traditions, uncover the history behind some of Ireland’s best-loved songs, and take you behind the scenes of both Christmas in Ireland and Seven Drunken Nights.
And there’s even more to come.
Next week we’ll be launching the very first episode of our brand-new Stories from the Pub podcast.
Each week we’ll be chatting about Irish music, Christmas traditions, fascinating stories from Ireland, life on tour, behind-the-scenes moments from our theatre productions and much more.
Whether you’ve already booked your Christmas in Ireland tickets, are a long-time fan of Seven Drunken Nights, or are simply searching for the perfect festive theatre show this Christmas, we’d love you to join us.
So pull up a chair.
The fire’s lit.
