Arts, culture, food and nightlife.

The Hotspot Music Club (087-2917519) is a combination of weekend cafe bar and a late night venue, located above the Beach House Pub at Greystones harbour marina. It specialises in live music gigs, arts entertainment and private events.

It is self-styled as a venue for events that are "a little too big or a little too unique for your average pub rock gig," and

"has the look of a speakeasy and the feel of a naughty house session." 

It has hosted the likes of Hozier, Kila and Mary Coughlan previously. At the free Sunday afternoon jam sessions, from 4pm, you could see anything from ukulele to jazz. Check out upcoming events at thehotspot.ie

There are number of regular events on in Greystones. A highlight of the summer season is the Greystones Art & Photography Exhibition (087-2584144).

Every Sunday, 12–5.30pm, from the June bank holiday weekend through to the last weekend in August, local artists and photographers put their vibrant work on display in the village.

GRAPE is located on the South Beach walkway and passersby can peruse and also purchase work; a one of a kind souvenir of the village and Wicklow. For more information visit:

The Holy Rosary Church on La Touche Road, one of two Roman Catholic churches in the Greystones parish, dates back to the early 20th century and one of its striking features are two stained glass windows by acclaimed stained glass artist and noted painter, Evie Hone (1894–1955).

One of the intricate and colourful windows represents the Good Shepherd and the other shows Our Lady of the Rosary. They are situated on the right and left aisles of the church and the work was carried out in 1948. greystonesparish.ie
