The Location
Wexford Town. Ireland’s Sunniest Address.
If you’re going to win a house in Ireland, you might as well win one where the sun shines longest. Welcome to Wexford, officially Ireland’s sunniest county and the jewel of the sunny south east. The prize home sits in Ferrybank, a waterfront pocket on the north bank of the River Slaney, with Wexford Town just a stroll across the bridge.
Five Minutes From Everything
The Dairyfields is the kind of address you can’t fake. From the front door:
- 1km to the heart of Wexford Town, just a short walk across Wexford Bridge
- Minutes from Wexford Swimming Pool and Riverbank House Hotel
- Direct access to the Slaney boardwalk and coastal cycling routes
- 4km from the N11 and N25, meaning both Dublin and Cork are just two hours away
- 20km to Rosslare Europort for ferries to Wales and France
- 10km to the famous Curracloe Beach
- 10km to The Raven Nature Reserve and 5km of unbroken golden coast
Wexford Town: Where Vikings Met Buskers
Wexford Town is a working town with a soul. Founded by Vikings, polished over 1,000 years, and lived in by some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. The streets are narrow and medieval. The pubs are the genuine article.
It’s also home to Ireland’s only purpose-built opera house, host to the world-renowned Wexford Festival Opera since 1951. Add Selskar Abbey, the West Gate Tower, the Irish National Heritage Park and a quayfront that comes alive every summer and you’ve got a town that punches way above its weight.
Beaches On Tap
Wexford has six Blue Flag beaches… six! Curracloe, a beach boasting ten kilometres of cinematic golden sand, is the most famous. Others such as Rosslare Strand, Ballinesker, Carne, Morriscastle and Duncannon are all within an easy drive.
This isn’t a place you commute home to and shut the door. It’s a place you live.
Day Trips Without Leaving The County
- Hook Lighthouse — one of the oldest working lighthouses on Earth
- Johnstown Castle Estate — lake walks, walled gardens, a fairytale façade
- Kilmore Quay and the Saltee Islands — puffins, seafood and salt air
- The Irish National Heritage Park — 9,000 years of Irish history in one walk
- The Wexford Coastal Path — over 200km of waymarked coast
Your Holiday Home, Or Your Forever Home
The brilliant thing about winning a house here? You don’t have to choose what to do with it.
Make it your full-time home and start a new chapter in the sunniest county in Ireland. Use it as a holiday house and enjoy weekends in Curracloe, summers on the Slaney and Christmases by the harbour. Or take it as your first foot on the property ladder and own a brand-new build in a development locals would queue up to buy in.
Whichever way you cut it, this is more than a house. It’s a postcode that genuinely changes how your life feels.
So… What Are You Waiting For?
Tickets are just €20. The house is real. The sun is shining. The draw is coming. Get yours before they’re gone.
