St Patrick’s Day is a celebration of Ireland’s patron saint, and a bank holiday in the country, as well as celebrated around the world. Typically green is worn, and festivals and parades held around the world. While you still may be able to don green on Wednesday, the coronavirus pandemic has meant pubs and restaurants are closed, and people cannot gather to celebrate as usual.

Lockdown rules are still in effect across the UK and Ireland, meaning the usual St Patrick’s Day celebrations will not be taking place.

Whether you’re ringing to share a Guinness, dressing up for the occasion or just saying hello, one way to spend time with your friends and family is a quiz.
