Welcome to the 2010 Manchester Irish Festival

A warm Irish welcome awaits all our visitors as Manchester celebrates its fifteenth Irish festival

We have tried to include something for everyone to enjoy in our two week extravaganza of events, staged at venues throughout Greater Manchester.

Established in 1996 the Manchester has played host to the likes of award winning dance shows such as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, top comedy shows by the award winning Peter Kay and Ardal O'Hanlon, along with a host of Irish plays, special art exhibitions, Irish food markets and one of the biggest St Patrick's Day parades in Europe.
