Set in the ancient modern of Dublin’s Grand Canal Dock, Night Watch is a darkly theatrical manifestation that explores nocturnal wakefulness, fuelled by a sense of foreboding.
The water borne installation reflects age-old anxieties of predator and prey, watcher and watched, with tales of the strange and sinister from the high seas. Night Watch is a free event that comes alive in Dublin’s Grand Canal Dock every evening at dusk.

The Craft Screening at Meeting House Horrors
A coven of outcast teenage girls start practising magic in an attempt to exert power using supernatural means. As far as 90s teen movies go, The Craft is unapologetically and deliciously dark, with this ultimate girl gang paving the way for a slew of witch-themed TV shows and movies in the late 1990s and beyond.
Get your best goth threads and chokers ready and come dressed up… after all, we are the weirdos, Mister!

The Craft is part of a series of screenings called Meeting House Horrors, including American Werewolf in London on Saturday night, and The Lost Boys on Sunday night.
