Bus Hire

While our on-site facilities are perfect for your special occasion you may still want to venture out to explore a local pub. There are several pubs not too far from Boglands where you can listen to live music, dance, and have a great night chatting with the locals.

These pubs are well run, and are very welcoming to Groups from Boglands. Contact us for current for a return bus to a local pub. You pay the driver directly.

Let us know when you book if you want to go to the pub/disco and we will organise that for you at no extra cost. The bus to the closest pub is from €10pp return. Please pay the driver directly.

There is a local bus company that may be able to collect you from your home location to bring you here and back.

  We have several local bus companies that you can ring. Just ask and we can pass on their contact details to you. If you prefer us to book the bus for you…just ask. If you prefer to find a bus service yourself that is not a problem.

Yes. The pubs have live bands, and a disco as well.

We recommend The Blackthorn. The locals are very friendly and are always up for a good time.

There are several nightclubs in Tullamore, and in Mullingar. The distance is 30 minutes plus to travel to these locations. Most groups staying at Boglands prefer to go to a local establishment if they do decide to leave site.

Contact us for recommendations. We try to keep track of where the music is and where the fun is. We have mainly sent groups to The Blackthorn, Daingean.
