A place of spirit and story. Let’s stay in holiday mode longer.

Renowned as one of Ireland’s top staycation destinations, you’ll need no persuasion to escape for an autumnal break away spent in the crisp, country air in County Wexford. Wexford is the perfect spot to get away and enjoy all that the southeast has to offer. From adventure, leisure, relaxation and rejuvenation to trails, beaches, mountains and so much more to explore, Wexford is an idyllic spot to make memories during the slow, colourful and fresh autumnal months that lay ahead. And even more so with the little ones during spooky season!

Home to iconic landmarks and locations, top-class attractions, exceptional hotels, B&Bs and self-catering options, mouth-watering restaurants and nightlife like no other, County Wexford has it all. If that’s not enough, see what’s happening during your time here by exploring our events guide. From spooky Halloween events and wholesome pumpkin picking farms, including world-famous festivals like the Wexford Festival Opera and the popular Wexford Spiegeltent Festival, County Wexford is the place to be for spirit and story as the crisp leaves fall, golden hour looms gracefully and we make postcard memories in Ireland’s Ancient East with experiences you won’t want to miss.

Get adventurous with outdoor water sports and adventure activities to walking, and cycling trails. Indulge in Wexford’s local producers with Taste Wexford, the sub-brand of VisitWexford, and dine in the county’s award-winning restaurants. Or why not cosy up by the fire in a quaint country pub?
