ASHFORD CASTLE UNVEILS CUSTOMIZED MONOPOLY BOARD GAME
Visitors to Ashford Castle can now take home a little bit of the castle's magic with the newly released bespoke Ashford Castle Monopoly Board. Players roll the dice and, just as with the original iconic board game, can buy up their very own pieces of the Ashford Castle estate.
As players move their pieces around the Ashford Castle board, they will be able to dine in The George V Dining Room, indulge in drinks in The Prince of Wales Bar, sample wine in the Wine Cellar, fly the Harris Hawks at Ireland's First School of Falconry, go horseback-riding at Ashford Outdoors or play a round of golf. Players can purchase a Junior Suite or splash out for the Kennedy Suite, the Reagan Presidential Suite or the Hideaway Cottage. Game pieces even include Ashford's very own Irish Wolfhounds. But players beware: As always, one wrong roll can land them in jail or bankruptcy!
The new Ashford Castle Monopoly Board Game is available for purchase at Mrs. Tea's Boutique & Bakery at Ashford Castle and
online at a cost of €95
