Why not take a weekend break this March and experience London's second biggest party after New Year's Eve!  Fly direct from Galway to London Luton.

The Mayor's St Patrick's Day Parade and Festival will take place on Sunday 14th March 2010, and is likely to be one of London's liveliest celebrations of the year with over 100,000 people attending the event the previous year.

Trafalgar Square will host a main performance stage showcasing the best of Irish music and dance from traditional to contemporary. Acts to be announced early in 2010.  This free family day out is a fun way to experience all things Irish - food, dance, crafts, culture and music.

The parade which is usually a colourful array of floats, marching bands and groups representing the Irish Counties will proceed through central London from Green Park to Trafalgar Square from midday, whilst Trafalgar Square will host a programme of live Irish music and dance on the main stage throughout the day.

What are you waiting for, grab your giant green hats and shamrock T-shirts and book here today!
