Dublin, Wicklow & Sheap Shearing Championships
This is most definitely NOT your standard city break. We have put together some of the highlights that Dublin has to offer but have also included a trip to the unique spectacle that is the All-Ireland Sheep-shearing championships! This is a truly local experience, where experts compete from all over Ireland, Europe, Australia and New Zealand to shear over 2,000 sheep over the course of the event. It’s the most fun you can have on four legs…

The evening is spent back in Dublin discussing all things woollen over a pint or three.
