Smithwick’s 10° West - An Alternative New Year’s Celebration

EXPERIENCE IRELAND’S LAST SUNSET OF 2017

This New Year’s, Smithwick’s Irish Ale has created an alternative celebration for those looking to escape the conventional New Year’s night out in the city in favour of a more laid back experience on the stunning Achill Island.

Smithwick’s 10° West will take place over 31 December and 1 January and is gearing up to be a New Year’s experience like no other with a range of both daytime activities and evening entertainment on the agenda.

BY DAY: Nature yoga sessions, breathtaking greenway cycles and hikes through some of the most unexplored countryside in Ireland, hosted by Pure Magic.

BY NIGHT: The island will serve as the backdrop for a boutique music festival, curated by Homebeat, with the main celebration in the Keel tent that will feature live performances from Daithi, Stomptown Brass, Lumo & Talos alongside acoustic and pop-up music sessions in some of Achill’s favourite ‘locals’ – complete with a chilled pint of Smithwick’s for good measure.

Tickets are priced €45.00 which includes two daytime activities, access to the Keel tent and a complimentary pint of Smithwick’s. Price is inclusive of booking fee and are sale now.

Over 18’s only. Enjoy Smithwicks Sensibly. Visit www.drinkaware.ie
