The Holiday Show Returns To Tv3

TV3’s award-winning travel series, The Holiday Show, returns to screens this evening at 8pm as presenters Ciara Whelan and Jon Slattery once again pack their bags and take off on an epic road trip to discover the best of what Ireland has to offer.

This action-packed series will see Ciara and Jon explore the finest home-grown holiday destinations, hopping from one breath-taking location to the next to take in some of Ireland’s best-loved spots, as well as its many hidden treasures.

The first episode, which airs tonight at 8pm, sees Ciara and Jon take a trip back to Ciara’s hometown of Kilkenny. They delve into Kilkenny’s hurling culture, support the local team at the County Championship final, and even learn how to make their own hurley.

Away from the pitch, they try their hand at pottery-making in Nicholas Mosse’s famous studio, visit the ‘local’ wildlife at Ireland’s only reptile zoo, and find out all there is to know about a pint of ale at the Smithwick’s Brewery. No holiday in Kilkenny would be complete without a visit to Kilkenny Castle, and Ciara and Jon discover an alternative way to check out this popular attraction.
