250 years starts now ❤️

We're making final preparations for our wrap up event tonight. We have been in a position to issue tickets to a number of people on our waiting list, and would again encourage anyone looking to attend the ticketed portion of tonight's event to sign up to the waiting list (link in story).

Those without tickets are welcome to the venue from 9pm onwards. See you then!

As a token of our appreciation, we contacted some activists and allies who worked to Save Tolka Park to give priority access to tickets for our wrap-up night.

Given the depth and breath of the campaign, we have now assessed that this is over 100 people, with the capacity of the Bar @ Tolka not far above this number.

Accordingly, we have a very limited number of tickets available here:

We are operating a waiting list here ( https://forms.gle/sGWQk7XdZm7ZM2139 ) and it is our sincere hope to accommodate as many people as we can safely and comfortably.

We anticipate being able to open admission to everyone once the panels have concluded at 9:30pm.

We are going to be announcing some of our guests imminently, for our wrap up event on Friday, November 15th.

Given the unprecedented attendance at recent events in Tolka Park, and the limited capacity of the bar, we have taken the decision to make this a ticketed event.

Tickets will be free of charge and we will operate a ticket swap system to ensure maximum attendance.

More information to come very soon!
