An exhibition will take place in Enniscorthy Co. Wexford tomorrow, March 8th…
Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, the world’s largest celebration of Irish music and language events, is returning to Wexford Town from the 3rd to 10th August 2025. With over 650,000 people expected to attend the week-long event the Fleadh Executive Committee is once again calling on the people of Wexford to open their doors and extend a warm welcome to visitors and performers by renting any vacant rooms or houses they may have available.
We opened our homes to visitors attending the Fleadh in 2024, proudly displaying our renowned Wexford hospitality to the world. This wonderful hospitality not only provided a much-needed service to visitors but bestowed on them a warm welcome to the county, inspiring and encouraging them to return.
As Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann and Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann return to the sunny southeast, over half a million visitors are expected to visit the county this August to marvel at the very best of Irish traditional music and culture. The Fleadh Executive Committee are reaching out to Wexford homeowners who can offer a variety of accommodations to rent, including a spare room or a holiday home not in use. Those interested in providing property or rooms to visitors can register their accommodation at fleadhcheoil.ie.
The highest demand for accommodation during the Fleadh in 2024 was primarily for the second weekend when the competitions occurred, and this trend is expected to continue in 2025, with events scheduled from Friday, August 8th to Sunday, August 10th.
Additionally, another observation from Fleadh 2024 revealed that many visitors preferred shorter stays, typically ranging from 2 to 4 nights, rather than a full week’s accommodation. These insights could influence your decision on whether to offer your accommodation to Fleadh attendees in 2025.
Chairperson of the Wexford Fleadh Accommodation Committee Maura Bell said:
“After the 2024 Fleadh, it was noted that the highest demand for accommodation was for the second weekend. Please consider this when deciding whether to offer your accommodation. Additionally, many of our visitors will be seeking 2, 3 or 4 night stays, so keep this in mind when registering your property”
Speaking to Wexford Weekly, Cathaoirleach of the Wexford Fleadh Executive Committee, Eddie Taaffe, said:
“We are excited to announce the return of Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann to Wexford this summer. Following on from the success of the Fleadh 2024 which would not have happened without the assistance and cooperation of the locals, we are once again asking people to assist in providing accommodation. If you have a space available for rent, we kindly ask you to register it on our website. Help us display our renowned Wexford hospitality by opening your doors and providing a warm welcome to the Fleadh festival attendees!”
