Important Information
THE VENUE
Arrowrock Lodge is situated on the shores of Lough Arrow. This used to be a bijou hotel and is now a hostel that can sleep 30 people in dorms. We have reserved the whole building for our celebrations.
CAMPING
Most of the dorms have been allocated to immediate family so we have organised to use the field, across the road from the venue, for our exclusive use, on Friday and Saturday nights. (Note: not to be confused with the caravan park beside Arrowrock Lodge. That's for OAP's only!)
OTHER PLACES TO STAY FOR THE NIGHT
There are at least 18 locations to stay in the Ballyfarnon area. If you search www.booking.com you will get a good idea of overnight accommodation in Boyle, Ballyfarnon, Keadue and Castlebaldwin areas. Amber B&B 0877467282 Douglas Lodge (self catering) 0851358105 and Kilronan Castle 071 961800 are all close to the venue. Carrick on Shannon and Drumshanbo are also within driving distance of the venue.
CHILDREN
Your children are very welcome on the day. There will be a Bouncy Castle* (enter your kiddies at their own risk) and a few other child friendly surprises. Just be aware that the venue is beside water and this will not be monitored by a lifeguard so please keep close supervision of your precious littlies at all times.
*Bouncy Castle is for the kiddies only....no matter how childlike the fully grown adults might feel
WEDFEST WELLY COMPETITION
There will be a "Most Colourful /Best Designed" Wedfest Welly Competition on the day (Bride and Groom will Judge) So, get your glue stick and fabric paint out and start decorating those festival wellies. Make them as crazy and as colourful as you like!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We need bread for our basket, fruit for our bowl, cheese for our board and salads to compliment our BBQ. If you would like to make or bake some thing savoury or sweet to add to our buffet table that would be amazing.
