For more than 150 years, Lisdoonvarna, a charming village in County Clare on the Wild Atlantic Way has been the place to go for those looking for love. The Outing is the festival’s LGBT offshoot (6-8 October 2017), and is three fabulous days of pop-up clubs, drag performances, comedy, live music and lots and lots of laughter and craic (fun).
Just over two years ago in May 2015, the Republic of Ireland voted overwhelmingly to say ‘yes’ to gay marriage. This means that those looking for love at The Outing can take things one step further right here if cupid sends his arrow your way!
This short video highlights The Outing in Lisdoonvarna, County Clare, and its stunning location on the Wild Atlantic Way, with footage of the festival showing all sorts of activities to be enjoyed when you get there. Enjoy.
