Held on the grounds of the RDS, the Show has been running since 1864 and is the oldest show jumping competition in the world.

While specialising in show jumping and other equestrian competitions, the Show is as much renowned for the social occasion it provides.

It is a staple of the summer calendar and one that people from all over Ireland and beyond come for year after year, as it provides social, shopping, fashion and equestrian all in one venue in early August each year. For more information visit www.dublinhorseshow.com

Silence (Cert: 12A) Monday 24th July | Tickets: €8 | Time: 20.00 | Cinema Directed by Martin Scorsese, filmed in Taiwan and set in 17th-century Japan, Silence is the story of two young Portuguese priests who dare to enter the island empire during the time when the Tokugawa shogunate was attempting to eradicate the Christian religion. As the two priests search for their former teacher, an older missionary (Liam Neeson) rumored to have committed apostasy rather than suffer the tortures of the shogun’s chief inquisitor, their beliefs are subjected to fiendish tests both physical and psychological.

Featuring giant screens, Dolby Atmos surround sound, and red leather rocker seats. It's a cinema trip you won't forget!

The Large Screen A minimum OmniplexMAXX screen measures 15 meters in ‘Flat’ ratio or over 20 meters in ‘Scope’ ratio. We curve the screen by 5% for optimum ’light gain’ and to achieve a more even spread of light.

Advanced Sound Omniplex Cinemas have partnered with Dolby Laboratories to install Dolby Atmos in our OmniplexMAXX screens. Dolby Atmos is the most advanced audio available, and rather than being channel based like standard 5.1 surround sound it is object based meaning every speaker can create its own individual sound within the auditorium, even the ceiling speakers! A typical OmniplexMAXX screen may have anywhere between 35-65 speakers, each creating its own sound.

WHY CHOOSE OMNIPLEXMAXX? There are 3 simple reasons to choose OmniplexMAXX; the advanced sound, the biggest screens and the comfiest seats. The OmniplexMAXX screen allows you to immerse yourself in the film, it's an experience you won't forget!

Tuesday 25th July - Saturday 29th July | Tickets: €18/16 | Doors: 8pm Set in October 1978 - Pope John Paul the First is not long dead, autumn is closing in and Pat Farnon has ‘some business’ to do in town. The Man In The Woman’s Shoes follows Pat Farnon as he walks to town and back again. It is a beautifully

observed piece, utterly simple and Murfi’s “astonishing acting” has been widely praised.

The Man In The Woman’s Shoes is funny, tender and at times downright daft. You might just fall in love with life again.

The show was originally created with Sligo County Council Arts Service and The Hawk’s Well Theatre, Sligo as part of the Bealtaine Festival 2012. In 2015 it toured to Manhattan and Philadelphia as well as a sell out, three week run at the Abbey Theatre on the Peacock stage in Dublin. In 2016 it returned to NYC and ran for three weeks at the Tricycle Theatre in London to standing ovations.

Wicklow Regatta

The Wicklow Regatta Festival has been running since 1878 and in previous years was a major date on the Dublin calendar with special trains laid on.

It has even been mentioned in James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’. Bob Cowley lent C. P. McCoy a valise “for the Wicklow regatta concert last year and never heard tidings of it from that good day to this.”

As the name suggests the festival originated as a sailing regatta along with skiff racing. Over the years the rowing part came more to the fore and it was the final race of the season for the East Coast clubs, it’s popularity being helped by it coinciding with the traditional builders holidays. It was also the event that drew the diaspora back to home year after year.

Each pub in the district including Rathnew, Ashford and Glenealy are invited to stage a one hour show of music on the evenings leading up to the bank holiday weekend with various categories of prizes to be claimed along with bragging rights for the next 12 months.

We also are planning a number of other events in the run to the main festival such as indoor bowls, poker and table quizzes.

We try to ensure that there are plenty of children’s activities. The ‘Golly’ fishing competition will be held early of Friday evening and we hope it will be as popular as ever with the kids. The ‘Wicklow’s Got Talent’ show will provide a platform for our next generation of superstars to show off their skills. The Family Fun day will be held

on Saturday afternoon in the wonderful Abbey Grounds and will feature a host of activities such as the Fancy Dress competition, dog Show, face painting, traditional carnival games, food, music and much more. Watch for some special surprises on the day.

Music will be a major feature of the festival. On Friday we will stage the trad evening in the Market Square featuring the brilliant Maguire Family.

Saturday night will see a more contemporary focus with a number of bands playing including something very different which will be announced closer to time.

On Sunday we will switch our attention to harbour with The Raft Race following Wicklow Swimming Club’s race. We invite clubs, organisations and communities to build their own raft and to race up the river. It is always one of the more entertaining events for the spectators.

There is also a vintage car show planned as well for the day. We’re very proud of our past in

Wicklow and two guided walks are provided by The Wicklow Historical Society around the harbour and town which tell the stories of the locale.

The kids treasure hunt will be followed by the family hoedown on Sunday evening in Wicklow Gaol and the festival will culminate with the spectacular fireworks display on The Black Castle.

Wicklow Rowing club will hold the skiff racing regatta on Monday afternoon featuring races at all levels and an air sea rescue display by the RNLI and Coast Guard Helicopter.

We aim to ensure that as many of the

activities as possible are free to attend.

However without a major sponsor we are reliant on the support of local businesses and individuals to raise the funds required to ensure a successful and enjoyable festival. So we would ask that you can support us in our bag packing days, raffles and by placing ads in, and buying a copy of the Festival Programme which this year will serve as a raffle ticket in its own right.

The Soapbox Derby is a super popular event at the Roundwood Festival. So it’s time again to dismantle that old pram and get welding to make your customized box for this year’s derby which takes place on Sunday 6th August on Roundwood Bank (beside Byrne& Woods / Vartry House).

Home IMPROVEMENTS As the majority of us know by now, engaging with tradespeople can be a bit of a minefield and for some the sheer thought of looking for a reliable trades person or service can be terrifying… Who do I call?...

How do I know they are the right person for the job?... What if they do a bad job, what then?

Such reservations can lead to a relative minor problem but may become a costly issue. Most people will build good relationships with their individual tradespeople over time but most probably off the back of some questionable work.

In terms of property maintenance, a little work done often is better than having to do a once off major job. Keeping your property in good condition always helps your property to maintain its value and that all important curb appeal!

This month IN Wicklow has provided you with a solid list of highly recommended professional businesses that can take care of any maintenance issues, building work or refurbishment your property may need.

You can build a strong relationship with not only one individual but with a strong network of reputable and trustworthy tradespeople.

From a landlords point of view, keeping your property in good shape will provide a safe, habitable living environment – which tenants are legally entitled to. Regular maintenance checks and upkeep will also keep the costs down on tidying or fixing up the property should a lease expire and a new tenant be needed.

Summer Moisturizing The Irish summer weather we all know we cannot rely on… Ever! But what we can and do need to rely on is our skin being healthy, especially this time of the year. It’s now time to ditch the heavy winter creams and bring in light and airy moisturizers from face to all over your body.

It is vitally important throughout this summer season to keep our skin clean & moisturized. The easiest way of doing this is to start a routine twice a day – morning & night, to give us the clean and healthy skin we all love to have. The obvious of course is to up our water, at least 2 liters a day will do it but if you’re out and about doing extra activities or exercising in this heat then it is very important to drink a little extra so that you do not become dehydrated this in turn will dry your skin right up and that is never good.

There are many moisturizers on the market today, ranging from low priced to high priced. It’s totally up to you which brand you decide to go for. Just be sure that which-ever brand you decide to try that it matches your skins own type eg – Dry, Oily, Normal, Combination Skin. If you are unsure what type your skin is then drop into your local pharmacy, beauty salon or any boots stores and speak to the professionals who will point you in the right direction and give you all the advice you need to help you get and keep great skin.

It’s never too late to start a skincare routine. Your skin will thank you for it
