As summer rolls on and the temperature soars (by Ireland’s standards anyway!), there’s never been a better time to get outdoorsy.  For the more active amongst us, the choices are endless. Whether you’re into sailing and surfing, hill walking and horse riding or climbing and camping, there’s no better place to enjoy an exciting activity break than here on our fair shores.  But, if the mere thought of spending a weekend climbing a mountain makes you break out into a sweat, fear not!  For those of us who would rather enjoy the great outdoors as a spectator, a horsey break is just the job.  All year round, Ireland is awash with equestrian festivals that enjoy a uniquely Irish flavour and what better time to enjoy all the thrills, spills and sartorial frills than at a summer race meeting?  From 25th July, the inimitable Galway Races kicks into life and festivities continue right up until the 31st July, while the Listowel Races will welcome visitors from all over Ireland and beyond from 11th to 17th September. So whether you fancy a flutter or you'd like to strut your stuff on Ladies Day, there’s fun to be had by all! If you’d rather stay closer to home, get your glad rags on for this year’s Dublin Horse Show, which takes place in the RDS from August 3rd to 7th. This Dublin institution is a celebration of Ireland's affinity with all things equestrian and showcases the best showjumping talent from all over the world. So, why not gather a group of friends and plan your outdoorsy trip today! And wherever you decide to go, why not let Budget Bus take the hassle out of getting there! We have 50 deluxe minibuses and coaches for hire ranging in size from 16-53 seats. Call us on 01-8227265 to book your Dublin coach hire today.
