DoIreland - What's Happening in Ireland

We’re thrilled to share that Achill Island has been named one of the most beautiful islands in the world by Big 7 Travel! With its wild landscapes and bright coastline, we aren't surprised in the slightest!

Autumn in Ireland carries its own quiet magic—cooler days, misty mornings, and the return of long-loved seasonal traditions. As Halloween approaches, pumpkin patches across the country are coming to life once more, offering families and festive seekers the chance to enjoy everything from harvest trails to hands-on fun.

Kerry has done it again! As the newly crowned All-Ireland champions, the Kingdom is basking in the glory and there’s never been a better moment to experience its magic for yourself…

There’s nothing quite like stepping inside an Irish castle, it's like jumping into a time machine! From windswept ruins to fully restored strongholds, these majestic landmarks tell tales of battles, banquets, royalty, and rebellion. Irish castles span centuries, from early Norman fortresses to Gothic Revival wonders — and each one has its own magic.

Many of today’s Halloween traditions have their roots in these early Irish customs. From dressing up in costumes to carving lanterns (originally from turnips, not pumpkins!), the influence of Samhain is still strong. So when you’re lighting a candle or tucking into a slice of barmbrack, you’re continuing a centuries-old tradition that started right here in Ireland — the true home of Halloween.

Ireland is great for many things, and one thing we’re known for is having a great bit of craic!
