These unique experiences will include a 'Pint Pouring Master Class' with Guinness Master Brewer, Fergal Murray, the chance to enjoy a Guinness with a member of the Guinness Family, a specially commissioned 'Guinness Connoisseur Tour' or vouchers to savour a complimentary lunch at the attraction's recently launched new food experience, FIVE.

In addition, the 1,759th visitor on the day will receive two tickets to the Arthur's Day celebrations in the Hopstore at St. James's Gate Brewery, which take place this evening at 17:59.

"The Guinness Storehouse is the Home of Guinness, located in the heart of the legendary St. James's Gate Brewery", commented Managing Director, Paul Carty, "and where better to be on Arthur's Day in the lead up to the global toast and celebrations at 17:59 than here, where Arthur began his remarkable legacy 252 years ago".

Mr Carty continued, "Visitors to the Storehouse on this special day will have the chance to receive a unique experience unlike any other day at the Home of Guinness. In addition, by simply checking-in at the Guinness Storehouse on Facebook, visitors can play their part in raising money for the Arthur Guinness Fund and continuing Arthur's philanthropic philosophy".
