Barnacles Hostel Galway gets into the spirit of the Galway Races
The biggest racing festival in Ireland! A week filled with adrenalin-pumping action, heart-stopping finishes and breath-taking fashion.
The atmosphere can be felt throughout the city with many pubs and clubs open late. The party spills out onto the streets where the many street performances and buskers will keep everyone entertained. And at the heart of it all is Barnacles Hostel Galway on Quay Street! Quay Street will be the hub of all the night life for the week!
Whether you come to Galway for the racing, craic or fashion this week is guaranteed to be jammed packed with entertainment.
The
Galway Races is a festival for everyone with fun events such as ‘Ladys Day’ and the Barnacles ‘Mad Hatter’ hat competition.
A huge success with our guests last year. we will give one lucky guests 2 tickets to the Galway races this Friday!
To enter all they have to do is take part in our Mad Hatter competition held on the Thursday in our common room. The challenge?? To make the craziest hat!!
Barnacles will supply the materials but for that creative edge bring some of our own. Anything is acceptable! We expect to see everything from twigs, fruit and feathers used in the crazy hat creations!
Take a look at some of last years entrants!!
Located in the heart of the Latin Quarter of
Galway, guests at
Barnacles will be able to avail of all the events happening throughout the city with ease.
What’s more, the Latin Quarter is also the hub of night life entertainment throughout the festival so guests can simply step out the door and join the party.
