Carlingford has reinforced its position as a leading winter destination following the success of Adventure Lights at Skypark, which has attracted an estimated 30,000 visitors during the off-peak season.
The event has drawn families, couples, and day-trippers from across Ireland and overseas, with many extending their stay to enjoy Carlingford’s accommodation, dining, and retail offering.
“What’s most encouraging is seeing how people are making a full day or even a full weekend of it.”
— Tom McArdle, CEO, McArdle Adventure Group
Increased visitor numbers have delivered tangible benefits for local hotels, cafés, pubs, restaurants, and retailers throughout the village and surrounding areas.
“Events like this show that Carlingford can thrive year-round, not just during the traditional peak months.”
— Tom McArdle
