The Gardeners Call 

The Gardeners Call is going all out this year with a brilliant four-day St. Patrick’s celebration! Friday gets things started with their “St. Patrick Party” from 1pm – expect live music throughout the day and a spot-on Rag ‘n’ Bone Man Tribute by Karl Dawson at 9pm.

Need a breather? Sunday’s got you covered with a laid-back vibe, doors open from noon and the jukebox is free all day. Then comes the main event on Monday – they’re opening early at 10am, with a DJ keeping the energy up from noon, Irish dancers showing off their skills from 5pm, and a not-to-be-missed Dolly Parton Tribute at 9pm featuring Cherie from ITV’s Starstruck. With special drink deals running all weekend, it’s no wonder this has become one of Luton’s favourite spots to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
