The Apres-Run Party
Roundstone is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and also for its festivals and events throughout the year. This years Apres-Run party will take place in The Shamrock Bar on Saturday evening and the retro-theme will still be going strong as we crank up the fun with Classic Rock Hits from performers extraordinaire Peter Byrne and the Glass Onion Band. If you haven’t caught these guys before then you are in for a treat!
All runners and supporters are welcome and there is no cover-charge, so swap your runners for your groovy shoes and enjoy the craic!
There will also be Traditional Irish music session in the village pubs, so why not go for a stroll, take in the atmosphere and feel free to sample the best that Roundstone has on offer!
