Competition: win a holiday for eight in Ireland

The whole of Ireland is getting into a country-wide Gathering this year, featuring ebullient festivals and very special events. Villages, towns and cities throughout Ireland are showcasing and sharing the very best of Irish culture, whether that is traditional dancing, food, literature, singing or the uniquely Irish sense of fun. Hundreds of groups of friends and families will be reuniting this year to celebrate their connections and love of Ireland.

Use our interactive calendar to find out what's on throughout 2013.

To celebrate The Gathering 2013, Tourism Ireland is giving you the chance to take up to seven of your friends and family to Ireland.

The winner will be provided with travel to Ireland via ferry, plus self-catering accommodation for up to eight people. So you can bring the folks to Kerry, bring the girls to Galway or organise a family reunion in Wexford – it’s up to you.
