Saint Patrick's Day, or the feast of Saint Patrick, is a cultural and religious celebration held on the 17th March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron Saint of Ireland. People come together for a day of celebrations and there is even a parade which passes the Dillons Hotel so you really are in the heart of it all. The tour also includes excursions to Donegal and Derry and entertainment in the hotel. This is a popular tour every year.
Excursions
Derry
Visit Derry, a city with a rich and varied cultural heritage and the City Walls are home to a number of museums, galleries and theatres, as well as thriving musical and literary scenes. Prosperity and peace have made this compact city, with its tumultuous history, one of the most fascinating to visit in the British Isles. It's Ireland's only completely walled city - there is over 1450 years of history locked into its 17th century walls. We enjoy a stroll along part of the walls, ending in the city centre. From the walls, you will view the murals, which are a reminder of key events within Derry's more recent history.
Donegal
At the very heart of the Country is the charming and picturesque town of Donegal, situated at the mouth of the River Eske and Donegal Bay, overlooked by the Blue Stacked Mountains. In the centre of twon is the Diamond, an open pedestrian area surronded by shops, cosy pubs, wonderful restaurants and delightful coffee shops. Donegal town centre is also known for a monument dedicated to the four authors of 'The annuals of the Four Masters'. There is plenty to keep you interested on a coach tour to this bustling small town. Donegal Castle, the 15th century seat of the O'Donnell Cheiftans and the remains of a Fransciscan Abbey sit in its delightful bay. Alternatively why not take the waterbus from the harbour and let the captain regale you with exciting stories of times gone by? There is plenty to see and do but above all Donegal has splendid scenery that will delight any visitor.
