Happenings are back with their first open air cinema event of 2015. The Bill Murray classic, Groundhog Day will be shown tonight, Friday May 15 in the Leinster Cricket Club in Rathmines so grab the picnic blankets and get the gang together on the grass! It’s another ‘Fiver Flick’ which means it’s still only €5 in and there’ll be a choice of food stalls so you can have dinner al fresco too. Tickets are available on the gate from 7pm. The film will begin just after 9pm as soon as it gets dark.

Staying in?
If you enjoy cooking, reading about or even just eating good food, Netflix new series Chef’s Table is ideal for a weekend binge-watch.
Beautifully shot, each hour-long show features the story of a world-renowned chef. Dan Barber (Blue Hill Restaurant at Stone Barns and in New York) and Massimo Bottura (Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy) are among our favourites.
