Enjoy the autumn season in Bray
Bray.ie launched its autumn tourism campaign for 2019 on Wednesday, August 28th, 2019. The aim of the initiative is to achieve increased visitor numbers in order to help boost the local economy.
Eugene Finnegan from Bray Tourism said, “Bray is the perfect staycation location, whether it’s a midterm family holiday or simply a weekend break. We’re home to some of the best experiences in the country. In a nutshell, Bray won’t disappoint you.”
It’s the best time to enjoy the autumn leaves 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.
There’s plenty to explore in Bray so what are you waiting for… enjoy a cosy break this autumn.

Your Connection with Bray
Wicklow County Council has undertaken a Town Centre Health Check for Bray and wanted to hear your views on how it is performing and how it can be improved.
The Bray Town Centre Health Check was an opportunity to consider the vibrancy and vitality of Bray. As we measure the current performance of the town, we will plan for the future needs of residents and visitors in Bray.
A big thanks to the many businesses, residents and visitors who attended the public workshop and completed the short online survey back in September.
We value your opinions and thank you for taking the time to participate!
The Bray Town Centre Health Check Report will be produced and circulated in due course.
Toastie Festival 2019 – November 1-3
Following an overwhelming 2018, The Harbour Bar Toastie Festival 2019 returns for its third year this November 1-3 for another weekend of cheesy goodness.
A celebration of a Harbour Bar classic, our humble ham and cheese toastie, a firm favourite to go with that post Cliff Walk well-earned pint or perfect pot of tea.
Throughout the Harbour Bar Toastie Festival, there will be the classic ham and cheese offering alongside some more adventurous fillings to try and match with whatever your tipple. Non-gluten and vegan toasties will also be available. Visitors can snag a seat by one of the Harbour Bar’s roaring fires or cosy up out front for outside service.
All welcome, dogs & children too!
