Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival

My name is Willie Daly and I am a third generation traditional Irish matchmaker: a gift I inherited from my father and his father before him. On the west coast of Ireland, just a few miles from Lisdoonvarna in County Clare , I live on a small elevated farm with horses, ponies and donkeys within view of the Cliffs of Moher , the wild Atlantic Ocean of our own Liscannor Bay and the beautiful, spellbinding, magical Burren. I have been matchmaking for over 50 years and am proud to say I have matched over couples in my lifetime. Matchmaking is in my blood and I am fortunate to have inherited the skills of my father and grandfather. Like them, I know instinctively what makes a good match.

If you want to find love, all you have to do is visit Ireland. While many people may consider Paris the City of Love, perhaps a visit to Lisdoonvarna, a tiny, rural town in County Clare, Ireland, will change their minds. Over the last 50 years, Daly has apparently set up around 3, marriages, so he must be doing something right.

Meeting Your Match at the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival in Ireland’s County Clare

Although not quite as quirky as the Puck Fair in Killorglin , the now-iconic Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival is one of the more unique festivals in Ireland. This rural village is famous for the annual Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival, the largest in Europe, as it happens. Each September, it attracts around 40, hopeful singletons in search of love.
