– And why not consider spending a night or two in Roundstone and making a right old weekend of it! See the accommodation section on our website for more details of where you can rest your head.
The Apres-Run Party
Roundstone is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and also for its festivals and events throughout the year. This years Apres-Run party will take place in the village on Saturday evening and the craic will still be going strong as we crank up the fun with Classic Rock Hits from Peter Byrne & the Glass Onion Band. If you haven’t caught these guys before (Quay’s Bar, Galway regular Thursday night residency) then you are in for a treat!
All runners and supporters are welcome and there is no cover-charge, so swap your runners for your groovy shoes and enjoy the fun!
There will also be Traditional Irish music session in the village pubs, so why not go for a stroll, take in the atmosphere and feel free to sample the best that Roundstone has on offer. Now, did we mention that all pubs in the village are within 100 metres of each other, so tired limbs or high heels won’t be an excuse…! Roundstone, a great place altogether.
