Limerick’s UL Arena will host the largest Holiday Show ever held in the region on Saturday and Sunday next, 3rd and 4th February. It will take place from 12pm until 5:30pm.

Now in its third year, the Holiday Show, in association with Shannon Airport, will have over 90 exhibitors, including airlines, hotels, cruise companies, travel agents, tourist boards, tour operators, tourist attractions and more. In addition to free admission, there will also be free car parking and free kids entertainment.

Record crowds are expected to attend the free event, which attracts thousands of holiday makers from across the country each year. The event will reflect the year buoyancy of the holiday market, with 2018 expected to be the best in a decade.

Attendees can not alone get expert advice on their holiday or honeymoon but will be able to snap up exclusive deals and win some amazing prizes into the bargain.

Organisers of the show have advised holiday makers to book early this year, with last minute deals set to be few and far between due to the rush to snap up holidays for the likes of Spain, Portugal and the Canaries.

Said Edmund Hourican, Managing Director Bizex, organisers of the Holiday Show: “We have a great event lined up and the timing is excellent as it’s going to be a bumper year for holidays, the biggest in over a decade.”
