Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Sligo

This relatively new hotel is not especially attractive from the road but, once inside the door, it’s a different story as it has a lovely light and appealing atmosphere, a huge welcoming flower arrangement in the large foyer, and staff who are keen to make guests feel at home.

Simple lines and classy contemporary decor in warm tones create a pleasing ambience, without distracting from the hotel’s great attraction - the views over Sligo Bay. Weddings blessings are not possible here but there is a romantically located church at Rosses Point, just three miles away, and there are excellent photo opportunities there as well (including a lovely beach).

An events co-ordinator has two meetings with couples, to choose menus and other details connected with the reception, but the hotel does not undertake extras like transport arrangements or entertainment - including any special welcome, such as a piper, as well as the DJ or band - so everything outside the immediate event is the responsibility of the bride and groom.

The reception is a sit down meal held in the ballroom or a smaller function room, depending on the numbers attending; there are no midweek reductions but, except for the minimum number of guests required (60 midweek, 150 on Friday, and 180 on Saturday), there are no restrictions.

Where a large wedding venues required, this is a good choice, but smaller gatherings are much more romantic and there is a more intimate room for groups of up to 60, with its own dance floor.

A large part of this hotel’s appeal is its location (so much for guests to do in the area), the extensive leisure and pampering facilities (including ESPA treatments), and the stylish, very comfortable accommodation which is offered in various combinations, including family rooms.

Lissadell House and Gardens

Lissadell is famous as the childhood home of Constance Markievicz, her sister Eva Gore Booth and her brother Josslyn Gore Booth. Constance was one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising, and was the first woman to be elected to Dail Eireann, where she served as Minister for Labour (thus becoming the first woman minister in a modern European democracy), and was also the first woman to be elected to the House of Commons at Westminster, London (where she declined to take her seat). Eva was a poet of distinction and an active suffragist.

Josslyn created at Lissadell one of the premier horticultural estates in Europe. This horticultural enterprise is now being recreated at Lissadell. Sligo born poet W. B. Yeats was friendly with the Gore Booth sisters when he and they were young. He stayed at Lissadell in 1893 and 1894, and immortalized Lissadell and the Gore Booth sisters in his poetry.

The 2.5 acre Walled Victorian Kitchen Gardens, with a splendid, award winning display of vegetables, salads, herbs, and soft fruit, all of which are used in the Tearooms and Heritage shop. By the seashore, the walled 2 acre Alpine Rockery Garden has been fully restored, together with rose gardens, stepped ponds, rockeries, and unparalleled views of Sligo bay. Gardening staff are on hand in each garden to assist our visitors. In addition there are large notice boards explaining the history of and display in each garden.

To mark the UN International Year of the Potato in 2008 they have planted over 169 heritage potatoes in our famous walled Victorian Vegetable Garden from the collection of noted Mayo horticulturist David Langford. David Langford has established the most comprehensive collection of heritage potatoes in Ireland over many years and we are very proud to have been chosen as the repository for this wonderful collection.

Sligo Abbey

Sligo Abbey is a Dominican Friary that was founded in 1253 by Maurice FitzGerald. It was destroyed in 1414 by a fire, ravaged during the Tyrone War in 1595 and once more in 1641 during the Ulster Uprising.

The friars moved out in the 18th century, but Lord Palmerston restored the Abbey in the 1850s. The site contains a great wealth of carvings including Gothic and Renaissance tomb sculpture, well preserved cloister and the only sculptured 15th century high altar to survive in any Irish monastic church.
