Today we helped launch Bray’s autumn tourism campaign for 2018. The aim of the initiative is to achieve increased visitor numbers in order to help boost the local economy.

Our long-term objective is to bring the Bray brand to life, we will do this through our award-winning website bray.ie, helping build a more engaged relationship with current and potential visitors showcasing the many incredible experiences that you can’t get anywhere else.

It’s the perfect time to see the leaves change in the People’s Park. You can shop for your winter wardrobe, watch some amazing performances at the Mermaid Arts Centre or simply catch a live gig at the many pubs throughout the town.
