Thinking of visiting Ireland during March with your group? You’ve certainly made the right choice!! Ireland is one of best places for groups to visit during March and let us remind you why!
ST PATRICK'S FESTIVAL is in March!!!
Whats so cool about the St Patricks Festival??
The St Patrick’s Festival is the time of year when us Irish tend to forget all of our troubles (Recession, mortgages,diets etc etc) and remind ourselves just how lucky and proud we are to be Irish.
It’s a time of year were we see no shame in donning a giant Leprechaun hat, paint shamrocks on our cheeks, sing our favourite Irish melodies and think we can all dance the Riverdance..just as well as Michael Flatley can!! Of course all of this comes after we drink a few pints of world famous Irish Guinness which has been dyed green specifically for the festivities!
