To help you get home from this year’s festival, we’re laying on a subsidised bus transport service that will ferry festival-goers northbound (as far as Donnybrook) and south to Wicklow town, on each night of this year’s festival.
The service is limited in it’s availability so advance booking is advised. You will receive a ticket at Mermaid Arts Centre to authenticate that you are a jazz festival patron.
Buses will leave from outside Mermaid Arts Centre at 12.45am in the early hours of Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings (following the late night shows at Mermaid each night), for the subsidised cost of just €7 PER PERSON. (which includes €1 booking fee).
The route northbound will pass through Shankill – Killiney – Glastuile, Dunlaoghaire, Monkstown, Blackrock to Ballsbridge, Donnybrook, Westmoreland St and returning along the N11 through Stillorgan and Loughlinstown. The southbound service will pass through Greystones, Kilcoole, Newcastle, Rathnew, Wicklow Town, Ashford and Newtownmountkennedy.
It mightn’t get you directly home but it might get you closer!
The initiative is supported by The Arts Council of Ireland and Mermaid Arts Centre, and is designed to support arts venues to become parts of the night-time economy.
