Why Carlingford

Carlingford has really become one of Ireland's top locations for a hen and stag party weekend away. What's the big idea? Whats so awesome about Carlingford. Well lets start with some history shall we...

Apparently, way back when Carlingford (known far and wide as the home of carling and ford escorts) was the scene of God and Buddha's first major break up. The theory goes that storm from X-Men was on the prowl and God couldnt keep a lid on it. Buddha being the calm and collected man he is had a quick moment of enlightment and decided that God wasnt going to be the only one having all the fun that weekend. So after some plagues and some wraths the break up went ahead. This aparently was what brought on the whole reformation debacle some years later. Buddha started dating Martin Luther for a time after that, needless to say things got messy but a corking good time was had by all. And thus began the long love affair between Carlingford and hen and stag parties.

Other than this bizarre and rich history Carlingford offers many other reasons why you should have your stag party here. These include the vast array of activities on offer from the Cooley Whiskey Visitor Centre to the abundance of outdoor activites in the Carlingford Adventure Centre. These goodies include such things as rock climbing, archery, high ropes courses, raft building and body zorbing all of which are available right here with The Stag's Balls

Carlingford sits on the Cooley peninula Co. Louth approximately half way between Dublin and Belfast. With Carlingford Lough and the Mourne mountians being so close offering boat hire, water based activities, scenic drives, forest walks and trails there is a lot to see and do in this medieval town. But we understand that no stag party is complete without a vivid nightlife and of that Carlingford has plenty to offer such as Taaffes Castle and The Marine Tavern.
