Rugby fever? Aye, we’ve got it bad! Last year’s Six Nations was thrilling from start to finish, even though Scotland got robbed against France! (We’re still not over it. VAR, where were you?!)

At Horizons, rugby isn’t just a game—it’s a passion. Last year, we tackled the challenge of squeezing thousands of passionate fans into Edinburgh’s already heaving streets, and let’s just say… it was intense. A “last-minute drop goal to win the match” kind of intense.

Now, with Six Nations 2025 on the horizon (see what we did there?), we’re limbering up to do it all over again! Whether it’s top-tier fan experiences, seamless team logistics, or just making sure no one ends up in the wrong stadium (seriously, it happens), we’ve got you covered.

So, if you’re planning to be part of the action and need a package, give us a shout. Because watching it on TV is fine, but nothing beats being there in the thick of it—face paint optional, but highly encouraged.

Is Ireland on your wishlist for 2025 programmes? After watching the latest FAM trip video, it absolutely should be!🍀

Reflecting on a recent adventure, crafted by our dedicated team with support from Meet in Ireland, which explored the breathtaking landscapes and rich culture of the Emerald Isle.

One of the real gems was Inis Oirr, an enchanting little island off the coast of Galway, with its cosy pubs and warm-hearted locals. The journey then moved to Galway, where they enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere of the lively cobbled streets and indulged in an exceptional dining experience at the Pullman restaurant. The following day offered a gastronomic exploration of Irish cuisine on a curated food tour, followed by an exciting session of Gaelic Games that provided an authentic taste of Irish culture. The adventure concluded with a hands-on experience at Tribe Gin School, where participants mastered the art of gin-making.

A big thank you to the partners— Doolin Ferry Co, Secret Connemara tour, Aer Arann Islands, Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate, The Dean Ireland, Edel Lynch, Galway Food Tours, Experience Gaelic Games, and Tribe Irish Gin School —for their top-notch service and support throughout.

This FAM trip reinforced our commitment to providing authentic travel experiences in Ireland for clients.

So, if you’re ready to plan an event or incentive in Ireland that’ll leave a lasting impression, let’s get the ball rolling!
