Manchester<\/h3>\n

\"PersonAnother one of the northern cities with a large Irish population is Manchester, and their lively St. Patrick\u2019s Day celebrations demonstrate that. The Manchester Irish festival<\/span><\/a> begins on 10th March until 19th March to ensure you get the full St Paddy’s experience. The city really gets into the Celtic spirit with dance demonstrations, art shows, plenty of live music, rugby games and lots of that classic Irish stand-up comedy. The celebrations will take place across the city throughout the day, but Manchester\u2019s Irish community really comes alive after dark, so if you\u2019re looking for that big traditional welcome and a hell of a party with a bunch of your friends, this is the place to do it.<\/h4>\n
