Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa

The west is awake this year in Tullamore as the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa from both Galway and Sligo will be showcasing the very best the west and northwest has to offer.

The hotels are running a competition giving you the chance to win a relaxing two-night B&B midweek break in one of the hotels.

Be sure to stop by and put your name in the hat.

In addition, staff from the hotels will be on hand to give advice on how to plan your next family break, the top attractions to see along the beautiful Galway and Sligo coasts and find out how kids eat free during their stay.

The team will also be available to discuss event facilities and how to make conferences a success, with some helpful tips and tricks picked up through years of service.
