A weekend in Ballina could look a little something like this! 💚

From scenic walks through Belleek Woods and discovering local history at the Jackie Clarke Collection to enjoying live music in Rouse's, there's plenty to see and do!

Anne was delighted to welcome some long-absent friends to Heyday Hostel recently, friends whose paths first crossed many years ago at Coogee Bay Hostel in Australia. 🌏

Having travelled, laughed and shared adventures together through a host of hostels across Australia, their reunion at Heyday in Ballina was a wonderful trip down memory lane. ✨

Old photographs and stories were shared, and there was plenty of laughter as they reminisced about their travels.

A lovely reminder that some hostel friendships really do last a lifetime, and how special it is to bring those old connections back together, right here at Heyday. 💛

☕ Looking for the perfect coffee spot during your stay at Heyday?

Head down to at The Quay for a coffee with views over the River Moy. 🌿

Grab your favourite brew and take a stroll towards Belleek Woods, one of Europe’s largest urban forests, before making your way back to Heyday.

Good coffee, riverside views and woodland walks, all within easy reach of your stay. 💚

Just another reason to make Heyday your base for exploring Ballina.

One of Europe’s largest urban woodlands is right on our doorstep. 🌳🍂

Belleek Woods is one of our favourite places to explore in Ballina, with miles of woodland trails winding alongside the River Moy. But there’s a lot more to discover here than a scenic walk. 👀

🚢 Look out for the SS Creteboom, an unusual concrete ship that has rested beside the woods for decades.

🐿️ Keep an eye out for red squirrels, which were successfully reintroduced to the area.

And the best part? It’s all right here in Ballina.

Base yourself at Heyday Hostel and get out and explore what’s on our doorstep. 💚

⚽ Aspiring Football Talent, supporting grassroots football and giving young players a safe place to enjoy the game.

We were delighted to welcome Wayne to Heyday Hostel for some well-deserved rest during this incredible challenge. Wishing him the very best for the rest of the journey! 💚👏

Pressure, the new WWII historical drama, is now showing at IMC Cinema Ballina, making it the perfect time to discover Mayo’s own fascinating connection to the events of D-Day.

Stay with us at Heyday Hostel, catch the film in Ballina, then take a trip out to Blacksod Lighthouse to explore the real-life story of Maureen Sweeney and the famous weather report that helped influence the timing of the D-Day landings.

While you’re there, take some time to explore the area's wider history too, from the lighthouse itself to the stories of the thousands of emigrants who once departed from this part of Mayo.

⭐️ “The comfiest mattress I’ve ever slept on!”

Said one of our guests after spending the night at Heyday. Her husband was so impressed, he wanted to buy one for their own house! 😄

A good night’s sleep was a priority when choosing our beds, which is why all of our beds feature high-quality, hotel-standard mattresses. And if you’re staying in one of our private double rooms, you’ll have the added comfort of a spacious king-size bed.

Because a great stay starts with a great night’s sleep. 💤
