Christmas may be a time for cosy nights in, but New Year’s is all about celebrating with friends, embracing some glamour, and looking forward to the year ahead. For a truly unforgettable way to ring in 2025, head to the Guinness Storehouse. With its sweeping panoramic views of Dublin city and a vibrant festive atmosphere, this iconic venue promises a sparkling New Year’s celebration you won’t quickly forget.
The Guinness Storehouse is pulling out all the stops this winter with its festive programme, designed to spread plenty of holiday cheer and celebrate the city’s creative spirit. This year, the Storehouse will once again transform into a dazzling festive spectacle, showcasing the incredible talent of Dublin’s vibrant artistic community.
At the heart of this transformation is the stunning ‘Woven in Tradition’ installation, which draws inspiration from Dublin’s Liberties district and its rich history of textile production. Spanning all seven floors of the Storehouse, this ambitious project features over 1,000 unique decorations that celebrate creativity, heritage, and craftsmanship. These intricate pieces were designed by renowned textile artist and designer Áine Byrne, woven by the skilled artisans at Botany Weaving Mill, and meticulously handcrafted by a collective of Irish designers and tailors based in Dublin. The result is a breathtaking festive collection that beautifully illustrates the synergy between art and community.
Visitors to the Guinness Storehouse this winter will be immersed in the magic of the season, with each floor offering its own unique wonders. Adorned trees, garlands, tapestries, and vibrant window displays create an intricate wonderland of festive design. Around every corner, you’ll find something to marvel at, whether it’s the handcrafted details of the decorations or the overall ambiance of festive warmth and creativity.
Adding to the charm, the Guinness Storehouse will come alive with music throughout the season. From community choirs to traditional Irish music trios and spirited fiddle players, the sounds of the holidays will echo through the venue, making every visit a heartwarming experience. Whether you’re enjoying the melodies of a choir or tapping your feet to a lively trad session, the music sprinkles extra magic to the festive offerings.
The winter schedule runs until January 5th, making the Guinness Storehouse an ideal destination for both Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. After exploring the vibrant displays and soaking in the festive atmosphere, don’t miss the chance to head up to the Gravity Bar one of Dublin’s best rooftop bars. Perched high above the city, this iconic bar offers unparalleled views of Dublin’s skyline. Whether you choose a pint of Guinness or Guinness 0.0y, you can toast the New Year in a truly spectacular setting.
Open on both New Year’s Eve from 9.30am to 7pm and New Year’s Day from 10am to 6pm, the Guinness Storehouse is a perfect way to mark the start of 2025 and spend the day lost in the festive mood. The ‘Woven in Tradition’ installation, with its focus on community and creativity, offers a meaningful message to take with you into the new year as a celebration of togetherness, craftsmanship, and the beauty of shared traditions.
