Offaly Rose Selection taking place on Easter Sunday
The Offaly Rose Selection for 2025 is taking place on Easter Sunday, April 20, in the Tullamore Court Hotel.
On the night, a total of 21 glamorous applicants will gather for a night full of entertainment, glamour and above all great fun as we find out who will represent Offaly in Tralee 2025.
“Can you handle the spirit and fun of 21 fellow roses to meet, open doors to opportunities, learn about and meet plenty of new life-long friends. It will be a life changing experience for one lucky rose," said Offaly Rose Co Ordinator, Lyn Molone.
The applicants have been meeting for the past number of weeks and attended a number of events, including cocktails and nibbles kindly hosted by the Old Warehouse where the girls got to know each other.
The MC on the night will be with MC Mr. Ollie Turner from Galway FM, who has a long affiliation with the Rose of Tralee. There will be prizes for ‘Best dressed Lady’, Best Dressed Man and ‘Best Banner’, as well as a raffle, and lots of nice prizes to be won.
The girl who is chosen as the 2025 Offaly Rose will walk away with the coveted Offaly sash to go on to represent Offaly in Tralee.
The road to Tralee is an incredible journey where we will visit some of Ireland’s most famous and symbolic, historic sporting and tourism landmarks in Meath, Limerick and Kerry.
The Roses will be pampered by in the wonderful Knightsbrook Hotel in Trim for two nights in advance of the press photo call in RTE followed by their departure to the Kingdom of Kerry for eight days.
Roses from all over the world will descend in Tralee and experience the full extent of what the Rose of Tralee Festival is all about.
Steve Cronly, of the International Rose of Tralee Festival, said: ”The festival is about celebrating every one of our Rose applicants. They are the link to all Irish communities at home and abroad and our dearest wish is that our Roses and their families and friends treasure the experience.”
Tickets for the event are priced €25 and will be available to purchase on the evening.
Doors open at 7pm, with the show starting at 7.30pm sharp.
