St. Patrick’s Day takes place on March 17th. Each year, this date – as well as the subsequent weekend – sees a whole host of events taking place across the world. However, it’s in Ireland where the festivities go above and beyond anything else seen all year long. Due to this, thousands of people flock to villages, cities and towns all across the country to soak up some of the action. For anyone who is looking to get stuck in with some fun, here are three of the highest-rated Irish getaways for St. Patrick’s Day.
The Irish capital, Dublin, has one of the most staunch reputations for quality and variety during St. Patrick’s Day. During the occasion, iconic buildings – such as Trinity College and Christchurch Cathedral – are lit up green. There’s also a world-famous festival that includes walking tours and film screenings. Luckily, the city boasts a huge range of hotels only a short walk away from the goings on. The average room costs around €120 per night.
For those people who aren’t fond of too much hustle and bustle, a great getaway option would be Kilkenny City. Just 90 minutes outside of Dublin, the area features picturesque views thanks to the sheer volume of historical buildings and sprawling green space. There’s plenty for visitors to sink their teeth into during St. Patrick’s Day, including the acclaimed TradFest parade that presents traditional music, song and dance. Kilkenny City only has a population of 20,000, but there’s still plenty of guesthouse accommodation for anyone who wants to stay.
Clifden, a coastal town in County Galway, comes alive on St. Patrick’s Day. As well as a huge parade running along its streets, the town celebrates the holiday in many of its charming pubs. The population is just 2,000, but there’s still quite a lot of highly-rated accommodation.
St. Patrick’s Day is a one-of-a-kind occasion – and the place to celebrate it is Ireland. Whether you’ve set your sights on a booming city like Dublin or a quaint little town like Clifden, there are plenty of areas that are perfect for a quick getaway. Just don’t forget to bring along an inflatable sofa. You can use it as you sit back and watch a parade or relax by yourself on the seafront.

"Hi there. Loving the LetsLaze now I know how to do it. Been in Spain for 3 weeks and used it every day. Used it in the sea, in the pool too!! I've shared a couple of pics on your Facebook page. PS. No one on the beach has one in Spain so I'm a trendsetter!!"
Claire"I bought a few primarily to use as seating for workshops I run at festivals - but they were delivered so quickly I couldn't resist taking them on holiday - brilliant!! There is a bit of a knack to inflating them but just do as they do on the video (a light breeze makes it even easier!) They were great fun in the pool and the sea (used responsibly in the tide) and saved loads of money on beach sun bed hire. Really light and easy to pack - delighted all round!!"
Kendra Eggleton"All the family love them. Great for the beach and so portable. My kids even use them in the house. Great service from this company and fast delivery. Everyone is asking me were I got them."
Tracey Sprigg"Fab product! Excellent customer service! We got ours a day earlier than promised. Jason kept in touch to confirm delivery etc. I've just ordered another one :) We used it at Scarborough in the glorious sunshine and it got lots of admirers...."
