I remember when I was a kid the highlight of my summer was my birthday trip to Mosney for a day trip. Everything was free when you went in ok some of the amusements were not the best but we had great fun as kids. I was wishing today I could take my niece there but sadly it isn't open anymore. But its all still standing. If i ever win the big euro millions jackpot id reopen it and do it up with good amusements. Something like that is needed here.

I remember when it was still called Butlins.
Both of my parents worked in it back in the 50's.

I remember the Community Games finals used to be held there. God the amount of shifting in those chalets was unreal.

There's a face book page on mosney. Can't link on the phone, but there's ex employees and stuff that post there and plenty of old photos. And some new ones showing how its gone to shìte.

The place is sadly missed. Been to butlins in the uk a couple of times over the last few years and they do some trade.

FYI OP there's a big thread on Mosney over in the Retro Forum.

We used to visit relatives in Drogheda in the late 70's and early 80's so we'd always be brought/dragged on a day trip to butlins/mosney. I used to love getting the train there, that was the best bit. The rest was just the stench of urine from an open chalet door, the fumes from the chlorine in the pool that would make your eyes run just passing the glass wall of the building. Plastic canteens and general tackiness.

I have a vague memory of going into an outdoor water feature/pool thingy when I wasn't meant to and my mother had to buy me dry underwear, it was a horrible dark green colour I think. I was very young

Mosney was the place for the posh families to go on holidays. Us peasants had to be content with the bog and the hayfield.

My older , deviant cousin replaced the vinegar in the restaurant with vodka.

My brother was a good runner so was there as a child for the Community Games. I used to just hit the arcade playing video games, dont think i even went to see him race. Kung Fu Master and Paperboy were in vogue back then. Always remember been able to see the legs of the ones in the swimming pool as it was glass so u could gape in going yee haw

Kids would've done anything for cigarettes and a chance for a spin in a car back then.

When I was eleven I went out with my first boyfriend there. Lasted the whole weekend. We held hands and slow danced. It was intense!
