As the years have gone by the festive celebrations are more to do with Irish heritage and the culture of the Irish in general. This is always a busy time for bars and restaurants across the UK and Ireland as people flock in their many to pubs and bars looking to commemorate the beloved Saint Patrick. In this article we will be looking at why St Patrick’s Day is such a large gathering, why your commercial establishment should look to incorporate the day into operations and the best methods and decorations to use to create an authentic St Patrick’s Day atmosphere. History Of Saint Patrick’s Day It is crucial that we first establish why St Patrick’s Day is celebrated and why the day has so much historical importance across the UK and Ireland. The history of the day traces back to 1631 when the Church established a feast day designed to honour Saint Patrick who died 12 centuries before in the 5th century. As time has gone on Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations have evolved. The generally accepted form of commemorating the day in the modern era is by wearing green and attending a local festival. It is important to note that in the UK celebrating St Patrick’s Day is less about the religious aspect and more focused on the culture of Ireland itself. Why You Should Incorporate Saint Patrick’s Day Into Operations In the United Kingdom, St Patrick’s Day is often celebrated mostly in Irish pubs, however there is an opportunity here for traditional pubs and restaurants in the UK to adopt a St Patrick’s Day theme. St Patrick’s Day isn’t just an Irish or British celebration either as the US and Australia among many other countries also adopt green and embrace the festivities. Unlike with other days that come and go throughout the year, St Patrick’s Day is a festival with celebrations often lasting for a full weekend from Friday to Sunday meaning that commercially an establishment can take advantage of the punters for 3 days as opposed to 1. These celebrations only come around once a year and fully delving your venue into the depths of the celebrations is the perfect preparation for the day. There are numerous celebration ideas that can be used such as a St Patrick’s Day menu, trivia night based around the St Patrick’s Day festivities or as simple as green decorations. Coating your establishment in green whether it be decorations or food options is a key piece in celebrating the special day as the colour is synonymous with the festivities.

One of the most important aspects of the day that should be remembered is that the green concept needs to match the overall theme of the establishment.
