    with the oyster festival on this week myself and my oyster loving housemates were wondering how would be the cheapest way to partake. on their website they mention all the big events that cost one helluva lot of cash but we're not gonna pay 150 for a gala ball with a few oysters thrown in for the price.

    theres a reason you cant afford it.. because they want to keep ppl who dont have money *out* :)

    checkout the clarinbridge oyster festival.. it might be a bit more accessible to the public but ive never been.

    Catch your own, eat them at the arch with some cans of guinness.

    Heard something about the living room giving out free oysters and guinness. Not sure if you have to pay in though but it might be worth checking out.
    Was at the Clarinbridge one 2 weeks ago and was great craic, managed to get into the marquee free but it was after the free drink and free oysters

    For a donation towards the charity of their choice on saturday u can sit in Freeneys and gorge on seafood, U just ask when u see the platters of oysters or mussels and donate into the buckets on the bar...later they dish up a seafood pasta carbinara.

    mussels in tomatoe sauce were jus the business
    now the last time i was at this was two yrs ago but its worth checkin out and its cheap
    BUT REMEMBER IT IS FOR CHARITY SO DON'T BE TWO STINGY
