Come gather 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 26th July 2025 at Fairview Park.
Inspired by the 300 Kate Bush impersonators at Shambush's 2013 event in Brighton UK (www.shambush.co.uk Facebook: www.facebook.com/shambush Twitter: @shambushevents), we will recreate the Wuthering Heights experience en masse, allowing for rehearsal time and a picnic.
Here's an idea of what to expect:
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.
Please note that there is a €10 registration fee. The event is entirely organised and run by volunteers on a not-for-profit basis, but we do need to cover the public liability insurance and some other small costs (like our portaloo, Kate Flush). All money from registrations after costs are covered is donated to Women's Aid.
We would like to thank Samantha Wareing in Berlin, creator of ‘The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever’ name in 2016, and facilitator of the global organisation collective that runs our international events.

IMPORTANT INFO
Guys, gals and non-binary pals all welcome.
Make sure to come in costume! Here's an idea of what we're going for:
It'll be so fun if we 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 the 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 performance.
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.
Please come prepared for whatever weather may grace us - fingers crossed it will be nice and dry.
Finally, just to say thank you to everyone who has been so helpful. We are a small voluntary team, so really appreciate people's assistance, especially our volunteer dance instructors and the lovely folk at Dublin City Council Parks, who kindly allow us to use Fairview Park!
