Galway Christmas Park-and-Ride 2025

 

In the Christmas 2025 shopping period, there will not be a traditional park-and-ride service from Ballybrit Racecourse.

Instead, Galway City Council have organised for free parking to be available at two locations outside the city-centre, and provided information about the regular city-bus services that go to/from them.
