A Tip from Us

Leisureland overlooks the world-famous Galway Bay, with its stunning views of the Clare Hills. Stretch your legs before or after the show with a walk up the promenade and take in the sea air. And don’t forget to kick the wall at Blackrock – it’s a local tradition and is said to bring you good luck!
