Family Fun and Frolics at Henry Street this Easter!

Henry Street is the place to be this Easter with retailers on Dublin’s famous thoroughfare hosting a range of free fun events for all the family.

Kid’s bungee jumping, face painting and children’s motorbike rides are just some of the attractions on the street over the Easter break. Mums and Dads will also have the chance to win a €1,000 shopping spree!

Richard Guiney of the Dublin City Business Improvement District said, “This Easter, Henry Street will not only provide fun and excitement for the kids but all of the family can enjoy a great day out in the city centre. Many local businesses will offer fantastic reductions and there are lots of restaurants and bars to choose from for a great value meal. Our Henry Street Christmas family activities were hugely successful and I hope the public will join in on the excitement this Easter holiday.”

Derek McDonnell, Centre Manager, Jervis Shopping Centre said, “At the heart of Dublin City Centre, Henry Street is the only destination for families this Easter. At the Jervis Shopping Centre, our Easter basket is bursting with free family events and we have a host of enjoyable and amusing ways to entertain children during the Easter holidays. You would be hopping mad to miss out!”
