BELFAST, UK. February 19th, 2025 – Belfast-born author and travel entrepreneur Stevie Haughey has announced the release of the second edition of The Irish Bucket List: 101 places to see in Ireland before you die, a bestselling guidebook showcasing Ireland’s most breathtaking places and hidden treasures. 

First published in 2017, the original edition became a favourite among travel enthusiasts and planners, offering an insider’s guide to Ireland’s most awe-inspiring locations. 

Now, after years of further exploration and discovery, Haughey has reimagined the book, adding new destinations, untold stories, and expert insights to provide an even richer experience for readers.
Haughey’s journey began at 19 when he left Belfast for university in England. It was only after moving abroad that he developed a newfound appreciation for the beauty of Ireland.

“Living away from home made me realise just how special Ireland is,” says Haughey. “People spoke about it with such admiration, and yet I had barely scratched the surface of what was on my own doorstep. That realisation changed everything.”

Determined to explore his homeland properly, Haughey embarked on a mission to uncover Ireland’s best-kept secrets. What started as a personal journey soon turned into Ireland Before You Die, a passion project that evolved into one of Ireland’s largest independent travel platforms, now boasting over 700,000 followers.
Building on the success of Ireland Before You Die, Haughey first published The Irish Bucket List in 2017. The guidebook became an instant Amazon bestseller in the Irish travel category. With countless new experiences under his belt, he felt this year was the right time for a major update.

“Ireland has evolved, and so has this book,” Haughey explains. “The new edition is bigger, more detailed, and packed with fresh insights. From world-famous landmarks to off-the-beaten-track gems, this guide is designed to help travellers experience Ireland in the most authentic way possible.”
For Haughey, The Irish Bucket List is not just about travel – it’s about celebrating Ireland’s heritage, landscapes, and traditions.

“This book is for anyone who has ever felt a connection to Ireland,” he adds. “Whether you were born here, have Irish roots, or simply dream of visiting, it’s a reminder that sometimes the most incredible adventures are closer than we think.”

The second edition of The Irish Bucket List is now available for pre-order, with copies shipping from 27th February 2025 – just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. It will be available on Amazon and shop.irelandbeforeyoudie.com.

Reconnect, Recharge, and Rediscover the Magic of Family Adventures
WALES, UK. December 19th, 2024 – After the phenomenal success of The Big Retreat Festival, the team behind this much-loved event is delighted to announce their newest festival: The Big Family Retreat. Taking place from 29th May to 1st June 2025, this unique festival has been specially designed for families with young children—a magical weekend of discovery, wellbeing, and unforgettable adventures.  
 
The Big Family Retreat is the sister festival to the successful The Big Retreat Festival, which will be taking place from 23rd May to 26th May 2024.  While The Big Retreat will always remain child-friendly, the new festival is aimed primarily towards families with younger children.

Set amidst the stunning beauty of the Pembrokeshire countryside, The Big Family Retreat offers families an extraordinary opportunity to reconnect with one another, recharge their spirits, and create lifelong memories in an intimate and immersive environment.

“While The Big Retreat Festival will always remain family-friendly, we recognised the need to create something just for families—a space where parents and children alike could truly connect, grow, and share new experiences together,” says Amber Lort-Phillips, Founder of The Big Family Retreat. “This is about celebrating the magic of family life in a way that only a dedicated event like this can achieve.”
The Big Family Retreat takes families on a journey filled with wonder, imagination, and connection. Highlights include:
  • An Epic Quest: Families will embark on a storytelling adventure, collecting coins from mystical realms to unlock the secrets of Cerridwen’s Cauldron.
  • Inspiring Activities: From wild bushcraft, sport and water escapades to creative workshops and wellbeing sessions, every family member can discover something they’ll love.
  • Evening Enchantment: As the sun sets, the festival transforms into a magical world, culminating in the spectacular Forest Masquerade Ball—a celebration of wonder, creativity, and togetherness.
  • Further information on line-up to follow in the New Year.
With only 300 families invited, this exclusive event ensures a personal and immersive experience, where every moment matters.

While The Big Retreat Festival has always welcomed families and created spaces for children, its broader audience spans all ages and interests. The Big Family Retreat is a response to the growing desire for a tailored event where the focus is entirely on the needs, wellbeing, and joy of families.

“Parents often tell us they’re looking for opportunities to reconnect with their children without distractions,” explains Amber. “By designing a retreat exclusively for families, we’re creating a space where parents and kids can share magical moments together, surrounded by the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside.”
The Big Family Retreat encourages families to step away from screens and schedules, replacing them with hands-on adventures, shared stories, and the simple joys of being present together.

From mindfulness workshops to nature-based activities, wellbeing is at the core of The Big Family Retreat. Whether it’s building dens in the woods, enjoying creative sessions, or listening to enchanting bedtime stories under the stars, every activity is designed to foster meaningful connection and a sense of renewal.

“This isn’t about cramming every second with activities—it’s about creating space for families to breathe, laugh, and bond,” adds Amber. “It’s a celebration of the simple, magical moments that matter most.”
Tickets for this exclusive family retreat go on sale 12th January 2025, and with just 300 families invited, spaces are limited. Visit www.thebigfamilyretreat.com to join the waitlist and be the first to access early bird tickets.

Secure your place and give your family the gift of a truly unforgettable adventure.

Generations-old Thames family business supports British shipbuilding to lead the world in sustainable, luxury tourism launching summer 2025 with The Tower of London River Tour.
LONDON, UK. 7th November, 2024 – Woods’ Silver Fleet proudly announce their first zero emissions tourist vessel, with construction underway at Pendennis shipyard, Cornwall, England. Designers and owners, the Woods family, have built and crewed sightseeing vessels on the River Thames for over a hundred years, yet are best known for private charter events aboard their fleet of river yachts with recent clients including Google, Net-A-Porter and Lamborghini.

The new boat is the first of its kind in the UK, harnessing developments in ultra light weight, aluminium design and construction technology coupled with an innovative industry first all-battery drive train. Following extensive design and power profiling by Vulkan Marine, the team has settled on an EST Floattech Octopus Series battery bank which will be rapid charged between each tour from a two megawatt shore charging facility (sustainable energy sources).

The Tower of London River Tour focuses their huge breadth of experience and history into the new Woods Tours brand developing a world-leading, all-electric luxury sightseeing fleet.“This new vessel represents the bridge between the past and the future of river tourism, building on the generations of experience the Woods family have operating on the river whilst striving to lead the industry’s push towards sustainability”, says Chris Kangis, CEO, Woods Tours. “We are delighted to partner with Historic Royal Palaces for the Tower of London River Tour. The Tower of London is one of the most significant London landmarks on the river and the perfect match for the tour.”

Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that cares for the Tower of London, has agreed to exclusively partner the first 39m flagship, Thames Explorer, as the official Tower of London River Tour. Pendennis Shipyard, the renowned superyacht build team commissioned by Woods, are building a truly sustainable vessel which will have the capacity to cruise with 250 passengers a tour (500,000 passengers a year).

Toby Allies Managing Director at Pendennis said “The start of the Thames Explorer project has been an exciting period for the yard and all the team involved. The aluminium construction specified on the project is all in-house providing a perfect backdrop for some of our more experienced team members to transfer their skills and knowledge to a whole new generation of fabricators.”
 
He continued “The client’s requirement for the vessel is also for it to be fully battery-powered advancing our own in-house capabilities in this area that in turn will transfer to other market sectors that we operate in.”
 
The circular Thames guided river tour will embark and disembark at Tower Bridge Quay, linked by an atmospheric stone riverside walkway to the Tower of London, and last 40 minutes featuring landmarks old and new including the Palace of Westminster, Tate Modern, London Eye, Traitor’s Gate and Tower Bridge.

The onboard spoken tour experience will be created by British actor, Martha Howe-Douglas, known for her writing and roles in BBC’s international hit series, Ghosts and Horrible Histories. The factual live tour is to be developed with leading historians and delivered with some wry twists of British humour by a trained actor.

We are delighted to be partnering with Woods Tours on the first official Tower of London river tour.  For centuries, some of the most famous Kings and Queens in our nation’s history approached the Tower by boat.  Now, even more visitors will be able to experience a unique view of the Tower from the Thames, discovering more about the history of this remarkable place throughout their journey.  We look forward to sharing the story with them!” Andrew Jackson, CBE, Governor of the Tower of London

The attention to detail will be apparent throughout the vessel’s design from clean, contemporary lines echoing the heyday of Thames river cruising during the 1920s and 30s with wide, awning-shaded decks, single deck panoramic views, bespoke wool woven carpet from Kidderminster looms and generously upholstered in eco-leather seating.

There will also be 21st century full accessibility, solar gain reducing glazing, sound system and LED lighting. All hand built by Pendennis’ experienced team, supporting maritime apprenticeship in Falmouth, with both traditional and new technology. Due to its innovative design, the project is part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 4 (CMDC4), funded by the UK Department for Transport (DfT) and delivered by Innovate UK. CMDC4 is part of the Department’s UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emissions (UK SHORE) programme, a £206m initiative focused on developing the technology necessary to decarbonise the UK domestic maritime sector.

Ticket sales will be launched in winter 2024 with the vessel arriving on the Thames for her first tour in summer 2025.
