From a seafood festival in Connemara to a vegan feast in Dublin city.

Whatever the case may be, here are four deadly events for rejuvenating the body and mind this weekend.

Brother Hubbard’s Long Table Vegan Evening

Where: Brother Hubbard North, Dublin 7

Where: Science Gallery, Dublin 2

When: Ongoing until June 3rd

Dublin Science Gallery serves up thought-provoking exhibitions several times a year. FAKE runs until the beginning of June, and if you’re ready to give some critical thought to the food choices you make, it’s worth a look.

Among the exhibitions is Faux Foodmongers, a “deli” which serves up – and makes you think hard about – fake food, including vegan cheese and “seafood” sticks.
