Discover Carrick-On-Shannon

Carrick on Shannon is a thriving county town, steeped in history. It offers a wide variety of restaurants, cafés, and entertainment including lively traditional music sessions by many talented musicians.

Walk through the town to discover interesting historical buildings, such as Costello Chapel – possibly the smallest chapel in Europe. The Dock, a wonderfully restored 19th Century former courthouse, is now an integrated centre for the arts and home to The Leitrim Design House. Take a stroll on the boardwalk towards the Marina and People’s Park.

Summer is full of lively events, with Carrick Carnival, a festival of fun held for 10 days every June bank holiday weekend. The impressive Shannon Regatta is held in July each year.

On Jamestown Road, stop into the Cottage Restaurant where Chef Sham Hanifa creates a fusion feast.
Visit nearby Drumshanbo, a pretty town situated at the foot of Sliabh an Iarainn mountain. Explore the Shed Distillery Visitor Experience at the laboratory of PJ Rigney who slowly distills gin with nature’s finest oriental botanicals and gunpowder tea. Next comes the Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, the first whiskey to be distilled in Connacht in over 105 years.
