Pairc 2025 Confirms New Partnership with The Birmingham Irish Association
Birmingham Irish • May 21, 2025
Páirc Summer Series returns to Birmingham this August Bank Holiday Weekend, with brand new features provided in partnership with the Birmingham Irish Association.
Páirc Summer Series, the UK's biggest celebration of Irish music and culture, is thrilled to announce its brand new partnership with the Birmingham-Irish association; the Midlands' leading charity providing support and cultural services to the Irish community. Their community engagement and outreach covers everything from Social Inclusion, Elders & Dementia Care, and Family Support to Passport Help, Emotional Support (and Mental Wellbeing), and of course, the encouragement and promotion of Irish Culture and Heritage Events.
So what does this mean for Pairc Summer Series? It means the inclusion of the all-new Irish Village hosted by our friends at the Birmingham-Irish association. You’ll find this at the festival grounds positioned underneath stretch tents, tipis, and marquees and will include:
- Traditional Irish music stage with live performances
- Soda bread making and Irish cookery classes
- Irish music workshops; learn the tin whistle, bodhrán and more
- All Things Irish shop - the iconic flavours of Ireland
- Interactive GAA sports (hurling, camogie, Gaelic football, Gaelic handball)
- Irish language tent
Attendees can also enjoy the festival’s own street food offerings, traditional Irish dancing, market stalls featuring local makers and Irish produce, outdoor bars, beer tents, and access to select after parties.

Volunteers' Week is all about our volunteers and the special role they play in the delivery of our services to the community, and to celebrate and recognise their fantastic contributions.
A group has been created with thanks to Jobe Sullivan running our Music Project, operating permanently in Abbey Primary School and Bishop Challoner, and other one-off workshops.
