Finding yourself in a bit of bother about what to do this weekend? Well look no further! We’ve rounded up some of the best things to do over the next couple of days, which are sure to keep you occupied.
Visit Newbridge Silverware’s Museum of Style Icons
This stunning museum is worth a visit at any time of the year, but even more so until the end of this month as it hosts a special exhibition on legendary Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe. Running in conjunction with Julien’s Auctions Beverly Hills, the ‘Marilyn Legend and Legacy’ exhibition features film costumes, personal gowns, sketches and writings belonging to the screen icon. Newbridge is the last European stop before the exhibition goes to the US, where it will eventually be sold by auction, so this is a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with the Some Like it Hot starlet.Visit www.newbridgesilverware.com for more details.
Throw some shapes at Castlepalooza
This famously quant and super-friendly festival kicks off today and runs until Sunday, and there’s an amazing line-up in store. Our top picks? Caribou, Jurrasic 5 and Villagers.

Soak up some culture in the Abbey Theatre
