The original Waxies' Dargle was said to be part of Donnybrook Fair, but because of riotous behaviour, this fair closed in 1855. In any case, the waxies' excursions did not go all the way to Bray but only went as far as Irishtown, between Ringsend and Sandymount. In imitation of the gentry, they called their outing the Waxies' Dargle.
The inaugural Waxies' Dargle was supposedly part of Donnybrook Fair, but it closed in 1855 due to rowdy behavior. Meanwhile, the waxies' trips did not reach Bray but stopped at Irishtown, situated between Ringsend and Sandymount. In a nod to the aristocracy, they dubbed their excursion the Waxies' Dargle.
