Excellent Places To Stay For Galway Festivals

By Callum L. McKenzie


The Connemara World Marathon is a one day race event, held either at the end of March or the beginning of April every year. Participants have the option of taking part in a Half Marathon, a Full Marathon or a 63 kilometre Ultra Marathon ( the most recent addition to the events schedule ). This event's particular appeal resides in the gorgeous scenery of the areas where participators compete - mountain peaks and deep blue lakes are just some of the features that line the course, which will take you through the Twelve Pin mountains, past Killary Lough, thru Leenane and the Maam Turk Mountains before concluding at Maam Cross.

Each July for 6 days, directors, actors and anyone else working on or curious about films descend on Galway. Why? This is when the Film Fleadh is held. This is a holiday intended for supporters of film, irrespective of their nationality, culture or vintage. It is currently virtually a quarter of a century old, yet over the years the organisers haven't wavered from their primary goal ; to present a fantastic mixture of avant garde, alternative and thought provoking films to an appreciative audience. Whether or not they are concerned in the filmmaking business or not, it does not matter - film is a shared interest and something they automatically have in common.

At the four Star Galway Bay Hotel, nothing has been overlooked when designing and decorating the bright and stylish guestrooms. Whether you need joining rooms for a family, or utilise a wheelchair, there's an exceptionally cushty room to suit you. Free wi-fi and papers, television, kettle, trouser press, telephone, hairdryer and 24 hour waiter service all come as standard, making certain that where you sleep is also your own personal retreat.

Every year in the month of Sep, the entire county becomes a hub of gourmet delicacies when the Global Oyster & Seafood Festival comes to town. This is far and away the most famed of Irish food festivals, and the World Oyster Holiday has been held for more successive years than any other. This is where the city's best cafes truly get an opportunity to shine, next to the Food Hamlet, which is a celebration of all sorts of eatable pleasures. This is when the National and World Oyster Opening Championships are held, along with a decorative parade. At the Holiday Curtain call, there are events for all the family, while the kids can dress up, music lovers can soak enjoy the live bands, and people who enjoy cooking can attend demonstrations.

Each year in October for the past twelve years, the city has been lit up and brought to life by the week long events arranged by Babor International Arts Festival for Kids. This really is an event with kids at its heart. Here, local and global drama groups come together to amuse through the media of puppets, song, drama, stories, mime and much , much more. Families and schools gather at locations in and around Galway city to take part in workshops and performances, while performers and artists also travel to faculties to educate by making learning fun.
