This Wednesday 25th August Solas is hosting a hospitality evening for locally businesses & tourist attractions
The evening will kick off at 7pm and run for 2hrs until 9pm. Refreshments, Food, snacks & beverage will be served from our food court on the day
We feel it is a great opportunity for us to showcase what we have on offer here at Solas as well as celebrate our recent opening
Linking in with local business & working with our community is a be part of what we want to do here at Solas and we feel we have a lot to give!
We are now running weekly training courses in gardening & crafts for adults & kids, These have proven hugely sucessful, many courses selling out in hours
Our farmers market which runs every Saturday is the perfect setting to allow us showcase the best food & crafts from the local area & was recently visited by none other than gardening legend & TV personality Diarmuid Gavin
Our eco store is an ideal retreat for people arriving into Portarlington & maybe have a few hours to pass. This 22000Sq.ft complex was recently resorted from a rundown, derelict warehouse.
& our spacious food court built entirely from recycled materials is the perfect space to unwind & with live music every Sunday we hope to create a tourist destination right here in Portarlington
But that is not all
We hope to open a green energy information facility in the coming months
We are working with our farmers market partners to set up a eco retail shop selling the best of their food & craft selections
we are installing electic car charging points & solar panels throughout our garden centre
And to further promote tourism in the area, we plan to 40ft map of Laois / Offaly / Kildare showcasing the best these counties have to offer
