For those arriving the night before, come join us in Ryan's Corner House from 8.30pm, a small pub round the corner from Cloughjordan House, for some traditional Irish music and a pint of Guiness! Hopefully see you there!

We'll be heading to Killaloe - a beautiful town on the lake just down the road from Cloughjordan. There are a number of lovely cafes and bars to explore...or a boat which can take you to the point on the lake where 3 counties intersect if the weather's nice :) We'll get the BBQ going from 7pm at Killaloe Hotel, with food served from 7:30pm. We'd love to see you there to continue the celebrations.

Cloughjordan is a small, country village. Whilst it does have a strong pub to church ratio (3 of each), it is less forthcoming with places to get dinner (beyond a small community cafe). The nearest town is Nenagh (pronounced Nee-na).

If you're flying into Ireland, the closest airport is Shannon (approximately 1 hour away). As well as being closer to the venue, Shannon is a smaller airport (so quicker to pass through) and less hassle to collect/return the car if you're renting one. Dublin and Cork Airport are both approximately 2 hours away but may be cheaper since they're larger airports.

We will be having some drinks and nibbles the night after the wedding in Killaloe, which is 30 minutes drive away from Cloughjordan. If you're staying in Nenagh for the wedding, you will be 15 minutes away so may chose to use that as a base. For those in Cloughjordan it's worth moving to Killaloe as it's a beautiful lake side town with more to explore.

We'll be providing a minibus which will do shuttle runs between Cloughjordan House and the Abbey Court Hotel in Nenagh from midnight. Please note, it will be impossible to get a taxi from the reception.

You're in luck. You're in a beautiful part of the world. Dublin is a great city (anyone from Cork will understand how difficult that is for Ciara to say), Ireland’s capital has an abundance of things to see and do – the following are just some suggestions: visit Trinity College (Book of Kells), take a tour of the Guinness factory, visit Dublin Castle and pop in to the numerous restaurants and bars along the way! Highly recommend the Winding Stair for dinner overlooking the Ha’penny bridge, The Shelbourne or Peruke & Periwig for a cocktail! It’s also worth considering venturing to some of the other gems Ireland has to offer: West of Ireland Head West and let the winding roads steer your path to Lahinch, a surfing seaside town infamous for its small pubs and traditional Irish music. Make your way along the coastline for spectacular views of Ireland’s most visited tourist attraction; the Cliffs of Moher, a dramatic jagged coastline overlooking the Atlantic. Continue north until you hit Galway – Ireland’s arty, bohemian city (thank you Lonely Planet), with brightly painted pubs heaving with live music, galleries and make sure you try the oysters! Sit back and relax – or travel further west, there are gems waiting to be discovered – The Burren, Achill island to name but a few. South of Ireland For those flying into Cork (or keen to see the most beautiful part of Ireland – not biased at all), we wholeheartedly recommend exploring Co. Cork. Highlights include: - Blarney Castle - kiss the blarney stone which legend tells has the power of the ‘gift of the gab’- you’ve been warned - Kinsale - a beautiful port and fishing town renowned for its great restaurants and seafood - Midleton - Jameson distillery visit followed by lunch or dinner at the Farmgate - Garnish Island - from Glengariff, take the ferry across to visit Ireland’s only microclimate garden and island. You could combine this with 'The Ring of Kerry' for a week of adventure!
