With St. Patrick\u2019s Day fast-approaching, it\u2019s time to get organised and start planning how you\u2019re going to celebrate. A trip to Ireland for the weekend to embrace the Irish spirit and soak up the atmosphere would be amazing, but it might not be possible. So, if you can\u2019t travel to Ireland, why not bring Ireland to where you are? Get together with your friends and flatmates for an Irish-themed evening of fun and celebrations.<\/p>\n

Go Green<\/h4>\n

A St. Patrick\u2019s Day party wouldn\u2019t be complete without wearing something green. Raid your wardrobe and wear a green jumper, cardigan, trousers or skirt, and accessorise with green socks, tie or hair band! Or, go the extra mile and make fancy dress compulsory \u2013 what could be more Irish than a room full of leprechauns?<\/p>\n

Learn the moves<\/h4>\n

Not your usual Friday night dance style, but as it\u2019s St. Patrick\u2019s Day, why not give traditional Irish dancing a go? If you\u2019ve not done it before, don\u2019t panic. There are lots of tutorials available online which will guide you through the basic moves. So, set up the big screen and have a giggle with your friends as you follow the routines \u2013 who knows, you could be the next Michael Flatley!<\/p>\n

Play the music<\/h4>\n

A party wouldn\u2019t be a party without music. And a St. Patrick\u2019s Day party wouldn\u2019t be a St. Patrick\u2019s Day party without some Irish music! From U2 and Westlife to Sinead O\u2019Connor and Van Morrison, there are lots of songs from Irish bands and solo artists that you can add to your playlist to listen to as you celebrate the day.<\/p>\n

Sample the food<\/h4>\n

Cook up a storm in the kitchen and tantalise your taste buds with some traditional Irish food. Heart-warming meals such as bangers and mash, colcannon and Irish stew are easy to make and sure to fill you up for the night. Looking for something sweet? Bake a Guinness cake or Irish Cream brownies \u2013 there are lots of recipes<\/a> to choose from. Haven\u2019t got much time? Simply buy some plain cupcakes and decorate them green instead!<\/p>\n

Enjoy the drink<\/h4>\n

After you\u2019ve indulged and sampled some tasty Irish food, you\u2019ll need an Irish drink to wash it all down with. And there couldn\u2019t be a better Irish drink to have for the occasion than one of the most successful beer brands in the world, Guinness. But if beer isn\u2019t your thing, there\u2019s always Irish whiskey, Baileys Irish Cream or a Magners Cider. You can even opt for a traditional Irish coffee or Irish tea to end the evening.<\/p>\n

Cheer on the boys<\/h4>\n

And even when St.Patrick\u2019s Day finishes, the Irish celebrations don\u2019t have to end there. The following day \u2013 on Saturday 18th<\/sup> March, Ireland take on England in the 6 Nations rugby tournament. So, dig out your rugby jersey and wave your Ireland flags as you show your support and cheer on the boys in their final match of the tournament.<\/p>\n
