Fáilte! It’s been a strange time for us all since March 2020 and we have badly missed all of our friends since the lockdowns started. While we had a reprise in the summer of 2020, it was short lived and the town has been missing its heartbeat ever since. As we move further into 2021, we will carry on as best we can. We will continue to follow government and health guidelines as our number one priority is always you and your wellbeing. This may mean reduced service and hours at some businesses and attractions and different ways of operating. We would ask you to be patient and continue to follow social distancing, mask wearing and whatever other guidelines happen to be in place during your stay. We can see a light at the end of the tunnel and we hope that Bundoran will be back to relative normal sooner rather than later. We have tried to cover as much as we can in our brochure at the time of going to press, however we remind you to call ahead and/or check the websites or social media channels of places you wish to visit to avoid disappointment. You will find a full business directory at the back of this brochure. Sadly it is unlikely that many events will be taking place for the remainder of the year but any that do come our way will be promoted on our website www.discoverbundoran.com and via our social media channels – just search Discover Bundoran (or find them all at discoverbundoran.com/social) Rest assured that all of our businesses will be doing everything they can to keep you safe and don’t forget our many free outdoor activities as well including our stunning Fairy Bridges and Wishing Chair, The Roguey Walk, our Blue Flag beach (now with free wifi!) and the West End Walk. Thank you for choosing Bundoran, stay safe and be kind to one another. Get around the area easily!
