 Lisdoonvarna, County Clare
In disappointment, they then focus their amorous attentions on fellow pilgrims who are, likewise, finding it's practically impossible to capture the heart of a beautiful Irish girl in Lisdoonvarna... in September. This is often the irony of attending Lisdoonvarna's Matchmaking Festival. Some believe any decent match with a real Irish person is better made in the pubs of Ennis or strolling along the beach in Lahinch because no self-respecting Irishman or Irishwoman would ever find himself or herself anywhere near Lisdoonvarna during the month of September. In a way, the Matchmaker Festival resembles a Brigadoon gone terribly terribly wrong. That said, the festival is still a month-long celebration of love and happiness, and the pleasant village of Lisdoonvarna, located in the centre of the Burren, is well worth the trip at any time of the year. There are a number of pubs with traditional Irish music and the local B&B's will treat you like the kings and queens you are. Lisdoonvarna also has the only natural spa water in Ireland, so visiting it at other times is a brilliant idea. Unfortunately, most of the pubs exact a king's ransom for the Guinness. One lad said it best as he strolled by me after having a few pints, "The porter is brutal but the craic is good." So, if you're wanting to settle for a smile with no teeth or you'd like to meet lots of other lonely travellers (and we do mean travellers), by all means, visit Lisdoonvarna in September and beat yourselves into a frenzy at the Festival. Fair play to the bog farmers for seizing their opportunity. The festival, itself, is brilliant, really. There is dancing and horse racing and dancing and dancing. It is a great opportunity for you to mingle with singles from all over the world. The truth of it is, you'll be in Ireland, lads, so there's always the Guinness (regardless of how brutal it is).
