THE GAP YEAR
By Clare McMahon
15 - 20 June 2026

Newly widowed Kate, childminder-in-chief Roisin and their best friend Oonagh have decided enough is enough; life is too short. They’re going to follow in their children’s footsteps and take a gap year. Thailand? Europe? Down Under? No, they’re visiting every county in Ireland in a campervan, sure there’s a few they’ve never even heard of!

It’s time for castles, coffee and craic as three women in their 60s go on the adventure of a lifetime. The Gap Year is about new beginnings, starting over, and the power of female friendship.
