Redbrick 30th Anniversary Party

Sample product

Friday, April 10th 2026
Harcourt Hotel, 6pm - 11pm
Smart casual attire (Redbrick hoodies encouraged!)

Redbrick started in 1995 with nothing but a battered 386 PC and a group of friends with a vision.
Thirty years later, we’re still here as one of DCU’s oldest and largest societies, built on thirty years of members who made Redbrick what it is today.
On April 10th we’re bringing together our entire history for one night only.

Join us on the last day of the semester for an unforgettable night of incredible food, drinks, and company. Whether you've been involved with Redbrick for years or just getting started, there is no better time to come together, catch up with friends old and new, and raise a glass to thirty years of what we've created together.

This is one for the history books!

PS: Don't forget to send on any Redbrick photos you may have to committee@redbrick.dcu.ie

We'll you there!

Regards,
Aoife and the Redbrick Committee
