Did You Know?
The GAA is the cultural body that is dedicated to running and administering Ireland’s native sports including Gaelic Football and Hurling. Our tip is to get along to a hurling game. During the summer months you won’t get a better combination of Irish culture and a party than cheering on the blue and gold in what we like to call the best field game in the world.
Where To Eat
Getting a taste for Tipperary
Situated in Ireland’s rural heartland, it is no surprise to learn that Tipperary is home to many independent food producers who provide local restaurants and pubs with their top quality produce. And what holiday in Tipperary is complete without visiting a real Irish pub?
You can also buy these goods directly at shops and markets all over the county. We currently have farmers markets in towns throughout Tipperary. These artisan options include such hand crafted foods and beverages as Cashel Blue Cheeses, Baylough and Cooleeney Cheeses, Crossogue Preserves and Karmine Apple Juice, to mention but a few. Country Choice, Nenagh, is one of Ireland’s best known destination food shops and showcases a large range of artisan food. As specialist bakers, Holycross Stores uses traditional recipes and local ingredients to produce mouthwatering food.
Irish hospitality at its best
The food and drink of a region are as much a part of it as the people. In Tipperary, we want you to take advantage of all that is wholesome and natural from one of Ireland’s leading agricultural regions.
Above all, it’s about the Irish hospitality experience. From a 100 year old bar with a roaring fire to a gourmet meal at one of our award-winning restaurants, Tipperary has something for everyone to whet their appetite.
