Phizzfest returns this weekend with a wide range of art, talks, music and events, starting today.

New for 2024 will be a football history element centred around Dalymount Park.

Over Saturday and Sunday, there will be a range of speakers, holding forth on a variety of topics taking place in the Dalymount bars.

Included will be such topics as the visit of the USA national team to Dalymount in 1924, the life and career of Mark Rutherford, the goalscoring brilliance of Bohs striker Mick O’Flanagan and how he ended up in New York with Belfast Celtic, what the objects we treasure and collect can tell us about football, as well as a guided run of the Bohemian Way walking tour.

It is hoped that the football history element and grow and develop in future years as part of the festival. The individual events are:

• Saturday 11th: Memories & Memorabilia with Siobhán Doyle
• Saturday 11th: Mark Rutherford with James Curry
• Saturday 11th: Confession Box to Penalty Box with Padraig Coyle
• Sunday 12th: Bohemian Way tour with Gerard Farrell
• Sunday 12th: The American Olympians in Dalymount with Michael Kielty
