The Carlton Hotel Group as a major sponsor of the 53rd International Rose of Tralee Festival has invited the 32 Roses to Westport, and its local hotel, the Carlton Atlantic Coast Hotel, which will host the Roses during their stay from August 15 to 16. This is the first time that the final 32 Roses will visit Westport as part of the welcoming tour to Ireland.
On August 15 the 32 Roses of Tralee will arrive into Westport town in a procession of vintage cars sponsored by the Connaught Vintage and Veteran Motor Club. On arrival at The Quay they will be met by their mini-escorts and welcomed to Westport by Minister of State Michael Ring, and the warmest of welcomes from local people. The festival will begin with family fun and entertainment during the afternoon at The Quay.
To mark this special occasion the hotel have teamed up with the Westport Lions Club and national charity Aware to create an evening of entertainment not to be missed. Evening festivities will commence at 8pm; welcoming the 32 Roses to the Carlton Atlantic Coast Hotel for a champagne reception, a seafood bar created and designed by the hotel’s culinary team, and a charity casino evening with music and prize draw.
All proceeds raised will be given to the charity Aware. To complete this amazing event there will be midnight fireworks over Clew Bay.
Tickets are on sale now for the evening event which are €25 each available from the Carlton Atlantic Coast Hotel (098 29000 ) and the Westport Lions Club.
If you are a local business and would like to be involved through sponsorship or prize giving please contact Michelle Ryan at the Carlton Atlantic Coast Hotel on 098 29000 or email [email protected].
