San Patricio, 17 de marzo

Dear friends,

The Embassy is delighted to let you know about a family-friendly celebration of St. Patrick’s Day here in Madrid, to be held onSunday, 15 March at the Parque Deportivo Puerta de Hierro. 

The event, which will take place from approximately 10.00 am to 5.00 pm, promises to be a fantastic day out for everyone, offering a range of activities including Irish music, dance, film and theatre.  There will be a particular focus on activities of interest to children and families, with the day also featuring a Gaelic football tournament and training sessions for children organised by Madrid’s very own GAA club, the Madrid Harps.   Delicious Irish food products will be available for purchase at the venue while those attending may also bring their own picnic with them to enjoy at the park. 

Further information on the day’s activities and the location of the event is available in the attached flyer. 

We warmly invite you to share this invitation widely with friends and family, bearing in mind that the event is open to not only to members of the Irish community here in Madrid but also to Spanish and international friends of Ireland.   

Finally, we would be delighted if those of you organising your own St. Patrick’s day festivities here in Madrid or elsewhere in Spain could share the details with us.  We will be very happy to spread the word as regards any events which are planned through our website and social media services. 

Best regards,

Ann Marie Murphy
