Travel & Accommodation
Travel Note
Arriving in Ireland
We recommend flying into either Dublin Airport (DUB), Belfast City Airport (BHD) or Belfast International Airport (BFS). There are onward bus services to Newry from both Belfast (Europa BusCentre) and Dublin (Airport and Busaras Bus Station). Service X1 departs from both cities to Newry, further details and timetables can be found here: www.translink.co.uk/timetables. For those planning to drive, there are ferry ports in Belfast, Larne or Dublin. We recommend boarding the ferry in Scotland (Cairnryan) or Holyhead for the fastest ferry crossings. www.directferries.co.uk We recommend booking tickets in advance.
Travel Note
Getting to the ceremony
We appreciate some guests may wish to rent a car while in Ireland. We recommend booking rental cars at your arrival airport or port. Rented cars can be driven across the border so you can explore as you wish! Should you not wish to rent a car during your time in Ireland, public transport is available and we recommend booking in advance.
