Top Billing for Bunratty Down Under

More than 300,000 television viewers across Australia will be introduced to Bunratty Castle & Folk Park this autumn.

An independent TV production team last week visited the popular County Clare visitor attraction where they filmed throughout the world-famous medieval castle and 26-acre folk park.

Bunratty will feature in an episode of a new show called ‘Journey to Europe’, fronted by travel journalist and presenter David Whitehill.

The programme airs on The Nine Network, one of five main free-to-air television networks in Australia, and its streaming service 9Now in October. The episode also will feature for six months on the Singapore Airlines in-flight entertainment system.

“We were delighted to facilitate the production team as they embarked on a filming trip across the Wild Atlantic Way to highlight the West of Ireland’s rich history and culture, fantastic culinary experiences and stunning landscapes,” explained Erin Malone, Assistant Sales and Marketing Manager, Bunratty Castle & Folk Park.

 

“This show will attract a significant audience for Bunratty in an important market for the Irish tourism sector,” she added. “The timing of the programme’s airing could not be better as people across Australia plan their overseas holiday for 2025.”
