18th century Cabinteely House is situated in one of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown’s 5 Flagship Parks and it continues to host a range of family friendly events throughout the year. The state of the art Children’s Playground and the recently developed Japanese Garden and Coffee Shop have greatly added to the experience of the many visitors to the Park. We hope that you will come along and enjoy what is expected to be a great day out in a very special setting.
Directions: Cabinteely House is located a little over 4 miles from Dublin City just off the N11. Parking is available in the Cabinteely House Car Park, which is accessed through the Park Housing Estate, the Park Shopping Centre Car Park, the adjoining school (limited), and also along the Roadway at the main entrance on the Old Dublin Road.

The National Antique & Fine Art Fair
(Hibernian Antique Fairs)
The South Court Hotel, Raheen Roundabout, Raheen, Limerick
On: Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd July, 2012
Bumping the current trend in the economy this Fair will be the biggest ever held in Ireland. There will be in excess of 70 quality exhibitors present including up to 15 members of the Irish Antique Dealers Association who normally only exhibit at the RDS, making this Fair nearly twice the size of any other Antique & Art Fair currently held in Ireland and that includes Dublin.
We are very fortunate to have a fantastic audience following our Fairs everywhere we go. People are so familiar with what we do but we have never had anything quite like this, it will be even more spectacular than last November. Every inch of the hotel will be full with Antiques & Art, Jewellery & Silver, China & Porcelain, Books, Clocks, and Vintage items of every description.
There has never been a better time to collect or invest in Antiques & Art. You cannot fail to pick up a bargain no matter what your interest may be.

From: 11.00am – 6.00pm each day
