Ireland

Short ferry or flight away
Legendary Irish hospitality
Excellent accommodation

OVERVIEW

Ireland is often overlooked as a touring destination by many but what it provides is often better than any other destination. Ireland is a short ferry or flight away and boast some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe.

Irish sports are very similar to their UK counterparts and offer all levels of competition as well as the legendary Irish hospitality. Rugby, football, hockey, netball and cricket are all played in schools with the seasons the same as the UK.Accommodation is excellent and facilities are akin to those in the UK.

Due to its proximity Ireland offers a good level of touring at very reasonable prices & there’s plenty to do including the ultimate Gaelic sports experience where you can have a go at the traditional Irish sports of hurling & Gaelic football followed by a tour of the legendary Croke Park Stadium.

The Irish people are welcoming and very glad to play in competitive and friendly fixtures.
Although sunny weather cannot be guaranteed everyone will have a very enjoyable time!

TESTIMONIALS

David and the team at Living with the Lions organised an amazing tour to Dublin. Their communication, planning and helpfulness prior and during the tour was top notch. I will definitely be using them again in the near future. Thanks again for everything.

Clifton College Hockey tour to Ireland
A fantistically well organised trip. Our students had a wonderful time, were treated to some superb hospitiality and the rugby fixtures were excellent. The excursions including the gaelic football at Croke Park gave us a real insight to sport in Ireland and we would thoroughly recommend a trip to there to any school or club..
