Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, the world’s largest celebration of Irish music and language events, returns to Wexford Town and 650,000 are expected to attend the week-long event from August 3rd to the 10th.
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 atfleadhcheoil.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 to WexfordLocal.com; “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”
Chairperson of the Wexford Fleadh Executive Committee, Eddie Taaffe, in a press release to WexfordLocal.com 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 co-operation 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!”
