Heathcliff..?
Join us out on the wiley, windy moors in your finest Kate Bush garb for a group performance of the 'Wuthering Heights' dance routine, as Dublin celebrates 'The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever' on Saturday July 13th 2019.
Inspired by the 300 Kate Bush impersonators at Shambush's 2013 event in Brighton, UK, we will recreate the Wuthering Heights experience en masse, allowing for rehearsal time and a picnic.
Here's an idea of what to expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMR0RSphmCk
This year, we are proud to once again support Women's Aid, a leading national organisation that has been working in Ireland to stop domestic violence against women and children since 1974. Find out more at www.womensaid.ie.
We will gather at 1pm at Fairview Park in Clontarf, Dublin 3.
**Please note that the venue is subject to change, pending final approval from Dublin City Council**
One small change to this year's event is that there is a €5 registration fee. We are very fortunate to have had the support of the Dublin City Rose Festival for the past couple of years, but this year, we need to cover the public liability insurance and some other small costs. Any money from registrations left over after costs are covered will be donated to Women's Aid. This event is organised by volunteers on a not-for-profit basis.
We'll provide a more detailed plan closer to the time. We're grateful to the Parks department at Dublin City Council for facilitating the event.

Some points to note:
Guys, gals and non-binary pals all welcome.
Make sure to come in costume! Type 'Wuthering Heights Day' into Google and you'll see what we're aiming for. It's so fun to have lots of twirling red dresses, so raid the charity shops, or try borrow a gúna from a friend if possible!
Bring along some snacks for a picnic. If you can bring something to share, even better! We will provide some bin bags and ask that you help tidy up afterwards.
This is an alcohol-free event, so make sure to hold off on the tipples until after the big perfortmance.
Please be aware that there may be a video recording of the performance and that members of the public will also likely take pictures and videos.
