Water Activities in Co. Fermanagh:


Enniskillen is surrounded by water, making it perfect for water activities. You could try canoeing, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding on Lough Erne or take a boat tour of the lakes.


Or why not experience the island town of Enniskillen on a hydro bike! At Erne Adventures, you will be taking cycling off the road and onto the water. This unique experience is available to enjoy both during daylight hours and as the evenings start getting darker, you can also try hydrobiking at night.


Share Discovery Village is another popular choice for thrilling water-sports. Offering an action-packed Wibit Water Park, dinghy sailing, banana skiing and windsurfing - you're sure to get the heart rate going!


 

Paint by the Pints in Charlie's, Enniskillen:


For hen's looking for a more chilled activity, why not book onto our 'Paint by the Pints' package where our resident artist will guide you through a 2-hour, step-by-step painting class while you sip on a tipple of your choice in your own private bar area.

Eleven ladies and one male pose for a photo underneath colourful umbrellas on the entry to Charlie's Bar, Enniskillen. They are all holding canvases with painted Daisies on them.

The Paint by the Pints team will consult with you beforehand to plan a painting project that fits in with your chosen theme or reflects the bride’s vibe. If you wish, we can reserve you tables to dance the night away to Live Music in the evening. Interested? Simply send us a message (£25-30 per person).

5. THE CRAIC


Enniskillen nearly has more pubs than shops, so a pub crawl is definitely an option. You are guaranteed a warm welcome and plenty of craic wherever you go.

For Guinness Lovers, Charlie's Bar is known for pouring the best pint of Guinness in Enniskillen if not in Fermanagh and beyond. Don’t take our word for it, The Guinness Guru’s view. Charlie’s is famous for two things, Guinness and Live Music, and guarantees a night full of proper Irish music and craic, a proper Irish Pub, so expect a bit of jiving and plenty of banter.


If you fancy something, well, a bit fancier, cocktails will be flowing in Magee's.
