Festive season comes early

Christmas has come early at a Limerick hotel where nearly 50% of the venue’s Christmas parties are already booked.

Despite less than four months left to go to Christmas Day, the Strand Hotel has already erected its Christmas Tree complete with decorations and lights.

“We’ve sold 45% of our Christmas office parties already. The level of demand is unbelievable. I can’t believe it,” said Strand manager Sean Lally.
