Irish people: we’re everywhere! And the 17th of March marks our global celebration of the patron saint who rid the motherland of snakes.

If you haven’t sorted your plans yet, we’ve rounded up the places to don your greenest attire and raise a Baby Guinness to the Irish.
From whiskey cocktails, free-flowing Guinness, and trad music sessions at an Irish pub, to something more refined, here are the St Patrick’s Day events in London to book for 2023 and celebrate with your Irish pals.
