Gorey, Co Wexford Bed and Breakfast Accommodation

Gorey is a market town in north County Wexford, Ireland, situated beside the main N11 Dublin to Wexford road. The town is also connected to the railway network along the same route. Local newspapers include the Gorey Guardian and Gorey Echo.

History

Gorey is an hour's drive from the outskirts of Dublin. As accommodation prices continue to rise in the capital, many workers have made the decision to move further outside of the city; Gorey's position on the N11 - a direct link to the capital - has made it an attractive choice for commuters, many of whom spend less time travelling to work than their counterparts living in particular areas of Dublin.

As a result of workers commuting to Dublin, there has been a dramatic increase in the building of new houses in Gorey. Between 1996 and 2002, the population has risen by 44% in the town and by 23% in the surrounding district. As Gorey is a short distance from Dublin it is an ideal place to stay and book quality B&B accommodation where you will receive a warm Irish welcome.

Amenities

Many new shops have been added in the last few years, including the Gorey Shopping Centre; Esmonde Street has been developed from a residential street to a mainly-commercial street and, by all appearances, a similar transformation is occurring on 'The Avenue'. Five supermarkets compete for customers in the town.
For visitors, there are 2 modern hotels, both with leisure centre, swimming pools, and conference facilities. The town has several restaurants, catering for Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai and, of course, Irish cuisine.  Gorey also has excellent Bed and Breakfast accommodation for best value.  Why not book a B&B on line for the best rates and availability.

Entertainment

Gorey has an extremely active theatre group which produces several plays through the year and organises performances by visiting groups. They also host an annual, week-long Drama Festival. In the summer months, the group produces a twice-weekly play which is popular with both locals and visitors. Every second year, a Pantomime is produced, which is always well received.

Gorey Musical Society has one production a year; in 2006, they staged the all-Irish musical, "The Ha'penny Bridge", and were the first amateur group to have been given the honour to do so. In 2007, the Society successfully staged 'Oklahoma!', for which the society received several nominations from the Association of Irish Musical Societies' annual "Oscar. At the awards ceremony in Killarney, Gorey MS received the award for the Best Overall Show in Ireland, as well as the awards for Best Male Singer and Best Supporting Actress[2].
Several music groups are active in the Gorey area, which play both traditional Irish music as well as rock and after an evening of music, why not relax in the comfort of a Town and country Homes quality B&B accommodation.
Gorey Choral Group, a mixed Voice Choir of around 38 members, has participated in contests all over Ireland and Wales, and brought many trophies back home.

In the 1970's and early 80's, an eclectic arts festival was held in the town during the summer. Many big and soon-to-be big name performers appeared including U2, Horslips, The Virgin Prunes, the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, the Glasnevin Musical Society, the Wexford Festival Choir, Niall Toibin and Eamonn Morrissey.

Development

Until recently, traffic congestion in the town, which lies on the N11 (Dublin to Rosslare) route, was a major problem. A by-pass was opened at the end of June 2007. It is a 15-mile-long high-standard dual-carriageway.

Transport

Gorey railway station opened on 16 November 1863.
