Make your own badge!
In Ireland everyone wears a small bunch of shamrock on the big day. We thought you might like to get involved in the tradition too. So we’ve put together a little kit for you to make your own shamrock badge! Just print it out, and follow the instructions. Why not post a picture of you and your results on our Facebook page – best creative efforts get prizes!
Irish pubs in the UK
Why not try to get out the gang out of the office a bit early and set yourself up in a cosy pub with a pint of the black stuff – it’d be rude not to! Lots of Irish bars dish out free Irish stew on the day and most will have a traditional music session going too. You’ll find some reviews of Irish bars in London here, and listings of nearly every Irish bar in the UK here .
Host your own party
As we’re known for throwing great parties ourselves this isn’t a hard one. Just play some great Irish music and serve a few of our well known beverages. You could have a fancy dress theme – ask everyone wear green or dress as their favourite Irish person.
St Patrick's playlist
There's nothing like some music to kick off a celebration! If you've got access to Spotify then you're in luck - we've pulled together a playlist of St Patrick's Day tunes. You'll find a bit of everthing in there, the usual suspects (U2, Van Morrison and the Pogues) and few unusual up-and-coming Irish acts. We're also giving away 50 much sought after invites to join Spotify, just leave your details here.
