On arrival

Register your arrival at the Aula Maxima reception. You will be issued your Garúa bracelet which will also serve as your pass for getting past the University security outside normal hours.

Food and drinks

There will be a selection of snacks laid out at each milonga, including vegan options, to ensure everyone has the energy to dance the day and night away. The bar is always open and serves prosecco, wine, beers and tasting menus of Irish Whiskey and a selection of Whiskey styles. We also have an Espresso machine to keep you buzzing.

Drinks vouchers and prize draw

The prize draw runs all weekend and is drawn on Sunday afternoon. The winner receives free entry to the next edition of Garúa. Tickets cost €10 (card or cash). Buy vouchers at reception during the day or at the bar in the evening. Each time you buy a voucher contains ten free drinks. Use your voucher to order drinks at the bar. When your voucher is full drop it in the jar at the bar to enter the prize draw.

Bottle recycling

At registration we will issue you with a glass bottle of Irish mineral water and a name tag. We ask you keep this bottle all weekend and refill it from the water coolers in the event hall. At the end of the event you can leave your bottle behind or take it with you. We will recycle all bottles after the event.

Guinness training

We have teamed up with Guinness and The Roost Bar to give everyone who attends the preparty a chance to step into a mythical place in Irish Culture. Once you have completed your ‘training’ you get to drink your full pint and will be awarded a genuine certificate with your name and the date you joined those elite who understand the art of pulling a good pint of Guinness.
