Michael Carrigan, the manager at O’Neill’s in Cleethorpes, said: “Every year we look at ways to celebrate our favourite event, St Patrick’s Day, while also trying to give something back to the local community.
“This year, which is the fourth year of our Join The Jig events, sees our first ever world record attempt.
“We really want the people of Cleethorpes to join us to help smash the world record and have great fun.
“As well as great craic, we’ll be raising money during the event by selling our legendary St Patrick’s day hats with all proceeds going to Cash For Kids.”
In addition to Join The Jig, the Cleethorpes pub will also host a number of other events to celebrate the anniversary of the much-loved Irish saint, including the special needs disco tomorrow.
And, of course, celebrations for St Patrick’s Day – this Sunday – start from 10am and include an Irish Breakfast for just £4.99 until midday and live music with Murphy’s Law from 7pm.
