BEATLES IN THE WINDOW

Arnotts, founded in 1843 and located on Henry Street, is Dublin’s largest department store and, not just because of its Beatles’ connections, is one of our favourites. The Beatles played in the Adelphi Cinema, which is now part of the Arnotts complex, on Thursday 7 November 1963. The original 1930s Art Moderne facade of the Adelphi still stands on Middle Abbey Street, serving now as the entrance to Arnotts Goods Inwards Department.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the only Dublin performances of The Beatles, Arnotts has created a stunning series of window displays featuring original suits worn by John, Paul, George and Ringo on their promotional tour of A Hard Days Night. The suits were tailored by D A Millings and Son, Old Compton Street, London W1, tailors to The Beatles throughout their careers. Each suit has a Millings tag noting which suit belonged to which Beatle. The displays also include original Beatles sheet music and instruments.

The display runs throughout the Dublin Beatles Festival and can be viewed until Monday 11th November.
