Our Top Five Favourite Summer Events

SPONSORED POST

When the sun shines, there is no better place to be than our own fair isle. And we’ve picked five of our favourite Summer events that we are looking forward to.

What’s on your list?

  • Festivals

Who needs to travel far and wide for a decent festival? Not us. Ireland is where it's at for festivals and, if the sun continues to shine, sure you may as well be in Spain. There is an Irish festival for every day of the year and whether music, art, food or reiki is your thing, there is a festival for you.

  • Summer weddings

Sure, winter weddings have their charm, but nothing beats a balmy afternoon to celebrate the union of two hearts. Nawww.

With wedding venues around every corner, Ireland has become such a hot spot for pending nuptials that fewer and fewer folk are choosing to take their families abroad. From Castle Durrow in County Laois to Castle Leslie up North, there's no shortage of luxurious options for Irish summer weddings, and no better excuse to get your glad rags on. Hell, even Kimye took themselves to Ireland for their post nuptial celebrations!

  • BBQs

Nothing says summer quite like a BBQ.

The homemade cocktails, the sing songs that don't end, the sausages (oh lord, the barbecued sausages), the pavlova, the list of reasons to enjoy a good BBQ are clearly endless. Planning your own? Take a leaf out of Jamie Oliver's book and impress your pals with some homemade watermelon cocktails.

  • The races

Fascinators at the ready - whether for a wedding or a day sipping champers at the races, nothing beats dressing up like a member of the royal family and cheering on the horses as though you're at the Royal Ascot. The Galway Races take the biscuit in Ireland, with women flocking from all over to be in with a chance of being crowned Best Dressed or taking home the gong for Best Hat. A truly enjoyable weekend.

  • Your summer holiday

If there's one occasion you'll be buffing and bronzing for ahead of time, it'll be your trip to whichever parts of the world you can actually rely on the sun shining, day in, day out. From the moment you set your 'Out Of Office' on, complete with smug gif to remind all contacts that you're off to sip Mai Tais in Morocco for two whole weeks, you're in total holiday mode. Where will you be holidaying this year?

But before we set off on any of our Summer adventures, there is prepping to be done. Waxing, shopping, hoof-revealing... and not to forget tanning. Fake it in style with L’Oréal Paris’ Sublime Bronze Elixir, a fool-proof option with easy application, no fake tan smell and it lasts for up to two weeks.

Now, tell us, what will be your great Summer adventure this year?
