St Patrick's Day not just about pints

LIVE MUSIC AND GOOD FOOD ALSO ON TAP

- By ETHAN EVANS

PLYMOUTH is set to come alive as the city comes together to celebrate St Patrick’s Day this year.

There'll be a host of parties, events and get togethers taking place on and around March 17 for our neighbours on the Emerald Isle - including a bottomless brunch with Guinness pints and cocktails.

It is one of the biggest dates in the calendar for many as bars, pubs and clubs across the country fill up with punters.

Songs are sung, pints of Guinness are consumed and good times are had - and don’t forget the hangovers the morning after.

But the Irish holiday is about more than just alcoholic beverages, there are parades, family days and more. So there's plenty of options to make sure you can make a proper day of it.

Here's a breakdown of some of the biggest St Patrick's Day events this year.
