What. A. Bank. Holiday. Weekend. 🥂☀️🌧️

Fully booked right the way through, with celebrations coming at us from every direction… several day-two wedding celebrations, a joint 60th, a 70th & 40th birthday, family reunions, friends getting together, a christening and so, so much more. 🎉

We had sunshine, we had rain, we made more Spritzes than we ever thought humanly possible 🍊🍹 and poured enough cold Guinness to keep the whole of Tipperary going! 😂🍻

Most importantly, Larkins was full of people celebrating, laughing, catching up and making memories & we absolutely loved it!

A huge thank you to our incredible staff for working their socks off all weekend. It was a BIG one, and we genuinely couldn’t do it without you. ❤️

And to every single person who chose to spend their Bank Holiday with us, whether you were celebrating something big or simply enjoying a few drinks and good food with your favourite people, thank you. 🥂

What a weekend. What a crowd. What a Bank Holiday. ✨

Now… who’s ready for a nap? 😂

A day was had 🤩🌊

A huge thank you to the lads from Derek Nolan Ken for having us be part of such a brilliant Seadoo Dealer Day in Garrykennedy on the 7th June.

It was fantastic to see so many people come along, enjoy the atmosphere, learn more about safety on the water, and get a look at some incredible machines. We were delighted to be there providing the BBQ, drinks and good food while everyone enjoyed a great day by the lake. 🥂

Here’s to plenty more summer adventures, sunshine, and memories made on the water 🌞🌊🍻
