After a good chill out in the hotel we all got dressed up and went for dinner. Druids Glen has recently been awarded with double rosette in there restaurant and the food did not fail to impress, as we drank, ate and reflected on both the day and the night prior. After a satisfying meal we headed to the bar for a final drink while listening the live music and enjoying the last night of what had been an eventful and truly enjoyable weekend, made better by great company and outstanding hospitality from our hosts.

After a short respite we were on the move again, we were given our own individual golf carts and raced each other like kids to the next destination.

After an hour of coaching, making leaps and bounds in our golfing expertise, we were all very tiered after a long day of activity’s and luckily for us it was time to head back to the hotel and have a rest and refresh before dinner (not after racing each other back in the golf carts of course).

We arrived at Druids Glen after a short bus journey (under 1 hour). For such a short journey the change in scenery was amazing we were transported to a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the Dublin City life. Upon entrance to Druid Glen we were greeted at the door with energising smoothie to wake us up after the nap that many had on the bus. We then had a brief tour of the hotel. The relaxing scenery was mirrored by the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel. All the rooms have large amounts of natural daylight pouring in and amazing views of the trees and golf course. We then went to see the old manor house that is now the golf club, where we viewed the space which would be great for an offsite dinner. We finished the tour having Guinness and oysters on the roof terrace enjoying the views.

The Teeling distillery is the only working whiskey distillery in Dublin. It also has a brilliant tour that is fully immersive and allows you to view all the stages of the whisky making process. The tour finished with a whiskey tasting at the end that allows you to understand the difference between Irish whiskey and the Scottish Whisky. Combined with the viewing of the process it gives you a very good understanding of how these differences occur. The tasting room would also work perfect for a dinner in a unique venue and can be combined with the tasting tour for an added unique touch.

After a good chill out in the hotel we all got dressed up and went for dinner. Druids Glen has recently been awarded with double rosette in there restaurant and the food did not fail to impress, as we drank, ate and reflected on both the day and the night prior. After a satisfying meal we headed to the bar for a final drink while listening the live music and enjoying the last night of what had been an eventful and truly enjoyable weekend, made better by great company and outstanding hospitality from our hosts.

When we returned for a brief freshen up at the Croke Park Hotel we could hear things livening up outside. We then ventured back across the road to see the stadium in full swing. The group was given a private box to see an Ed Sheeran concert and the atmosphere was immense. The event was very well organised with large amounts of staff and police keeping everything in order. After the event the stadium cleared in approximately 10 – 15 minutes and crowds of people either headed home or into the city for a big night out.
Waking up on the Saturday not feeling 100% I was grateful for the well fitted room and after taking a long shower to wake myself up and enjoying a Full English breakfast. I was ready for the action packed Saturday we had planned. We next headed over to the Teeling Distillery.
The Teeling Distillery
The Teeling distillery is the only working whiskey distillery in Dublin. It also has a brilliant tour that is fully immersive and allows you to view all the stages of the whisky making process. The tour finished with a whiskey tasting at the end that allows you to understand the difference between Irish whiskey and the Scottish Whisky. Combined with the viewing of the process it gives you a very good understanding of how these differences occur. The tasting room would also work perfect for a dinner in a unique venue and can be combined with the tasting tour for an added unique touch.
Druids Glen
We arrived at Druids Glen after a short bus journey (under 1 hour). For such a short journey the change in scenery was amazing we were transported to a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the Dublin City life. Upon entrance to Druid Glen we were greeted at the door with energising smoothie to wake us up after the nap that many had on the bus. We then had a brief tour of the hotel. The relaxing scenery was mirrored by the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel. All the rooms have large amounts of natural daylight pouring in and amazing views of the trees and golf course. We then went to see the old manor house that is now the golf club, where we viewed the space which would be great for an offsite dinner. We finished the tour having Guinness and oysters on the roof terrace enjoying the views.
After a short respite we were on the move again, we were given our own individual golf carts and raced each other like kids to the next destination. We arrived at the driving range and it was time to try are hand at a spot of golf. After an hour of coaching, making leaps and bounds in our golfing expertise, we were all very tiered after a long day of activity’s and luckily for us it was time to head back to the hotel and have a rest and refresh before dinner (not after racing each other back in the golf carts of course).

This is an incredibly impressive venue with a capacity of over 80,000 it is the 3rd largest stadium in Europe and the only one of the three not to show football or rugby to attract its crowds. Croke Park is the home of Hurling and Gaelic football and they are very proud of the history. We had the opportunity to practice our hurling skills and got an amazing tour of the venue including a “skywalk” on top of the stadium giving impressive views over the whole of Dublin.
