It looks like the weather is going to hold for the weekend, so why not come and spend Sunday & Monday in sunny Kenmare! We have a few rooms left for the Sunday night at €139 for the room, B&B. There’s always plenty to see and do in Kenmare – the bars are buzzing with people and live music and there’s loads of restaurants to choose from for meals out. Kenmare’s own little theatre – the Carnegie Arts Centre – is running a play over the weekend. ‘An Inspector Calls’ by J B Priestly, is an intriguing play considered to be one of the classics of mid-20th Century English theatre. Tickets are available for just €12. Check the hotel’s website for accommodation availability – www.kenmarebayhotel.com

Weekend Weddings at the Kenmare Bay Hotel

Congratulations to our 2 couples – Louise & Niall and Laura & Gideon. Louise & Niall were a little unlucky with the weather on Friday, but it didn’t dampen their spirits nor those of their 300 guests who enjoyed a fantastic day. For Laura & Gideon, it was definitely second time lucky! They had to postpone their wedding from 23rd April, thanks to the Ash Cloud. It poured with rain on 23rd April. They got married on Saturday, 19th June in the most beautiful sunshine and they and all their guests had a brilliant weekend in Kenmare.   www.kenmarebayhotel.com/weddings
