Future Events

• Irish Escapade

Friday 14th ~ Monday 17th July 2023

We are going to visit out twinned parish in Carrigaline this summer and we need to know who’s joining us for a great craic! The general information is as follows:

• Ryanair fly from Birmingham to Cork (& back!) most days of the week, once a day each way.
• The flight lasts 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Currently on 14th July the flight leaves Birmingham at 08.40
• Currently on 17th July the flight leaves Cork at 21.45
• The price changes over time but is approx £35 each way, to which you need to add cost of luggage
• shared transport to and from the airport will also bear a cost per person, which it is hard to know at the moment, but the travel there and back, including to and from the airport and luggage will be around £125 person.
• The plan is to stay with host families from the parish in Carrigaline.

There is a form in church which asks for your details and whether you want to travel with the group or make your own way. Please complete the form and get it back to me ASAP.
