Our first trip across the Irish Sea in 2024 sees a return to County Sligo, with Co:Mon! Here’s a recommendation from last year’s event:

“I’m just back from the absolute best Countdown event I have ever been to. In fact, the best ‘word game’ event I have been to, full stop! (Countdown or Scrabble)
Fair play to Jessamine and her trusty sidekicks (you know who ye are) for putting together a really slick event. It ran so smoothly, and yet seemed so effortless. They just know how to hit that sweet spot of being ruthlessly efficient yet utterly laid back. And the hospitality is second to none.” – Eoin Jackson
