Also, if you are planning on coming with children please be aware that the building is not totally suitable to buggies as the main bulk of stalls will be upstairs . We’re very sorry if this puts you out in any way, but the building is old and full of character and not without its quirks. Sunday in The Café is wheelchair accesible.

Each artist has been given free reign to do whatever they want with the space. They will be exhibiting their work, performing and collaborating on a dish that will be served on the day.
Tom Campbell
Tom will be in residence in the cafe on Friday sep 28th and Saturday sep 29th drawing portraits which will feature in his show. Please feel free to sit for your portrait or simply absorb some of his creative process. He will be performing his ‘TV SHOW’ at 3pm on Monday 1st.
Jota Castro
Jota has made new work that will be exhibited on the day along with a number of installations and transformation of the café space. This work is a stark reaction to the change that is taking place in the Dublin 8 area and the limits of gentrification and community.

Fermentation Workshop – Sunday March 1st 2015
We will be holding our second fermentation workshop in The Stables on Sunday March 1st at 3pm (duration approx 2.5 hours).
The Stables (for those of you who don’t know yet) is our new building next door to the Fumbally on the lane, it is where we will be holding various workshops and trainings over the coming months and where we also host yoga classes and focused events. Keep an eye on www.thefumballystables.ie which will be live in the next few weeks.
The class will be taken by April Danann (www.aprildanann.com) who will be coming up from West Cork where she runs a fermented foods business called Rebel Foods. April is a clinical nutritionist and fermented foods expert who works exclusively with wild yeasts so the class will be focused on wild fermentation processes.
The session will include information on Sourdough, Fermented drinks, Vinegars and fermenting vegetables. Everyone will get to take home a sourdough starter with them and there will be other fermented products available for sale on the day.
The cost is €80 which will need to be paid up front in advance of the class to secure your place.
You can call us on 01 5298732 and pay over the phone by card or drop in cash to the Fumbally.
¡Jésus! A Celebration – Thurs 18th Dec 2014
Every musician or artist has supported their careers with a part time job in a restaurant or bar at some point. It’s kind of a rite of passage in the creative realms, no? If you’ve ever wondered what our staff do the other 4 days a week that they are not making coffees and bringing you food… This is it.
Neil (Buffalo Woman), Stefano (SignA), Margie (Margie Lewis) and Jill (Old Moon) are an amazingly talented group of people that are regularly on the bills for the likes of Electric Picnic, Body & Soul, Another Love Story, and Hard Working Class Heroes. They have gigged everywhere in Dublin – Vicar Street, Whelans, The Joinery, Sweeneys, The Back Loft…..they’ve done them all. And when they’re not on stage we have their creative input in the cafe (lucky us).
Following such incredible people as Lisa Hannigan, Jennifer Evans and Rhob Cunningham (from previous years), this is going to be a great night and a lovely way to wind down the year before we close for our 2 weeks Winter holidays.
Heres a few memories from the night with Lisa Hannigan in 2012:
And what to expect from this year:
Food on the night is going to be based on a set of ingredients given to us by each of the artists. Here’s what they gave us: VENISON-PARSNIP-POTATO-STAR ANISE
And that’s all we’re giving you for now……You’ll have to wait until the night to see what we’re doing with them.
(there will be a vegetarian substitute for the venison for those who don’t eat things with faces)
