Killarney Advertiser launches brand new local Event Guide

Last month we launched our Readership Survey, a project that helped us better understand the content you want to see more of.

When our readers were asked "from the advertisements you see in our magazine, what grabs your attention the most", a massive 70% of the 683 respondents said they were interested in reading about Events.

As always we listened, and asked ourselves what more can we do to promote events in our town. On the eve of Paddy’s weekend we are delighted to launch our new Event Guide 'What’s on in Killarney'.

The Advertiser is Killarney’s most popular publication. For almost 50 years we have supported the events industry in our town and have built up great relationships with the local businesses at the forefront of bringing the very best music and arts line-ups to town.

Our new weekly Event Guide is the next step in promoting Killarney’s Live Event scene. Each week we will work with local venues to collate their events schedule and bring it to you in a digestible format in both our magazine and our website.

“Bar Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway, I don’t think any other town or city manages to attract the calibre of live music and arts events like Killarney does, and we realised that there is no local, single source of updated content for locals and visitors to see what’s going on in town in any given week," Business Development Manager Chris Davies, speaking about our latest initiative, said.

"With our new Event Guide you can expect to find all the latest Concerts, Pub Gigs, Festivals, Talks, Lectures and Exhibitions coming to town."

If you have a venue in town that hosts live events - let us know. Email sales@killarneyadvertiser.ie.
