SOLAS is very much in festival mode with arrival of ‘Spin City’ carnival on the 10 March for 10 days and a huge array of activities based around the St. Patrick weekend celebrations.
David Maher of SOLAS explains, "The Carnival is the biggest single event on the calendar here at SOLAS with up to 3,000 people a day attending. It's just such a well-run and fun event and best carnival in Ireland with over 16 different rides to choose from – which is 3 more than we had last year. This weekend also sees the re-opening of the food court for new season. Our staff are working around the clock to get everything ready – spring really is here and it all starts in SOLAS."

Food Court & Cosy Cafe
This weekend the 11-12 March will see SOLAS Food Court open for the first time this year. David Maher explains, "Of all the things that makes SOLAS special nothing really compares to our food court – from the retractable roof, the art works, the Mediterranean feel to the space. Best of all it means a return to the Full Menu from chef Allan and the team. There is a be strong festive theme to the menu to match the party mood of the ‘Spin City’ carnival."
