Every summer, our dedicated Social Committee organises a fun, team-bonding activity for all our staff at Inflight Dublin.

This year’s activity was Painting and Prosecco at The Jar in Dublin city centre! 

The image provided for everyone to replicate was a silhouette shot from The Lion King, to celebrate the newly released live-action remake of the classic. 

A Painting and Prosecco artist went around the room and guided everyone through each stage of the painting process as can be seen above.

Here is everyone with their finished masterpieces!

Following the painting, the Social Committee organised a quiz with wonderful prizes to be won, alongside the glory of beating some of your colleagues…

Here is the winning team with their medals and free drinks!

The activities were followed by a great night of food, drinks and dancing in our own reserved bar and terrace.
