Alive in 25.... 25 years of Guinness Storehouse!

In the heart of Dublin’s Liberties and taking pride of place at the St. James’s Gate Brewery, the Guinness Storehouse is delighted to celebrate turning 25 this year.

To celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2025, we’re excited to be rolling out the Alive in 25 campaign. This year-long series of cutting-edge cultural events and community initiatives is designed to celebrate everything we’ve done as a visitor experience, bringing 265 years of Guinness history to life.

Recently, Guinness announced Lovely Days Live at the Home of Guinness inviting music lovers to step inside St. James's Gate for an unforgettable 3-day music, food and culture experience from Friday, May 23rd to Sunday, May 25th. All proceeds from ticket sales will go towards The Guinness Dublin 8 Community Fund, a commitment from Guinness and Diageo Ireland to donate €1 million over the next 5 years to vital resources to champion projects across education, sustainability and community enhancement initiatives.  

Lovely Days Live at the Home of Guinness took place over three days at the Home of Guinness, with more than 7,000 people walking through the iconic Guinness gates as the brewery was transformed for the ultimate cultural experience. Fontaines D.C. and Lankum, CMAT, Morgana and Irish trad supergroup BIIRD, and finally DJ Barry Can't Swim and Jyoty performed. 

Stay tuned to learn about more events coming up this summer!
