Winterlee’ is coming to SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh this festive season

As the popular Alpine Skate Trail moves to SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh this winter, there’s been an even bigger announcement made today.

‘Winterlee’, a new immersive winter wonderland experience, is coming to Cork City.

The Christmas market will feature various wooden chalets offering festive food and drinks, local craft stalls, a funfair, and, of course, Cork’s favourite ice skating experience, Alpine Skate Trail!

Three homegrown Cork businesses – Cool Running Events, SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Brook Foods – have teamed up, combining the thrill of a skate trail, a bustling winter village and a vibrant funfair to create Winterlee.

Bill Cremin, Managing Director of Cool Running Events said: “We couldn’t be happier with our new home at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

“At Cool Running Events, we like to bring the unimaginable to life and we certainly feel like we’re doing that by opening the world’s first ice skating trail in a stadium concourse.

“After serving the people of Cork since 2007 with Cork On Ice, before moving to Fota House for a few years, we knew our return to the city would need to be spectacular, and that’s what Winterlee will be.

“We’re delighted to team up with SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Brook Foods for the most unique Winter experience in Cork City, and one we’ll remember for a long, long time.”

Kevin O’Donovan, CEO of Cork GAA & SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, added: “We are excited to see our stadium continue to evolve, offering a unique experience for the Cork public and beyond.

” I am delighted to welcome Bill and the team at Cool Running Events, we believe this will be the first skate through an international stadium.

“Together with our catering partners, Brook Foods, we will provide yet another opportunity for people to gather in Cork City and experience our venue on a whole new level.”

Alpine Skate Trail will officially open its doors on 8th November, along with Winterlee, and will run through to 19th January, offering a fun-filled winter experience for families, friends, teams, clubs, schools, and corporate groups.

Kieran Callinan, Managing Director of Brook Foods operating the market, food and drinks offerings and funfair, said: “Brook Foods are excited to partner with SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Cool Running Events in creating Winterlee, a transformational Winter experience designed to appeal to everyone of all ages that are out to enjoy themselves for the festive period- it will be a must visit destination in Cork City.”

To celebrate the announcement of Winterlee, Alpine Skate Trail is offering limited Early Bird ice skating tickets at a discounted price at iceskating.ie.

Alpine Skate Trail

 

Alpine Skate Trail, Cork’s favourite ice skating experience, returns to Cork City in 2024, and to the home of Cork GAA, SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on November 8th 2024. 

What started with Cork On Ice in 2007 has grown considerably over the last few years which saw a move to Fota House and Gardens, the creation of Ireland’s first ice skating trail (and outdoor ice skating experience) and now back to the City Centre, where it all started.

This year’s experience will be special, with 150 metres of ice skating trail going under the north stand of Cork’s historic Gaelic Games stadium. Iceskating.ie, owners of Alpine Skate Trail, have secured the help of Culture Creative, an award-winning creator of illuminated trails, to help theme and decorate the experience and make this a winter wonderland to remember.

Early Bird tickets at just €14 (saving of up to 33%) are now on sale. There are limited amounts available for every date throughout the ice skating season so make sure to Book Now to avoid disappointment.

Hear from Statkraft, SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh partner, ahead of Global Wind Day, June 15th

 

 

Statkraft: Renewing the way the world is powered

Since 2018, Statkraft, Europe’s largest energy producer, has been a vital part of Ireland’s renewable energy landscape. The team has tripled in size, now employing over 130 people. Headquartered in Cork, it specialises in developing, owning, and operating renewable energy projects across various technologies, including onshore wind, offshore wind, solar, battery storage, and grid services.

 

Cork: A national hub for renewables

Statkraft is committed to Cork and believes the region is playing a pivotal role in supporting Ireland’s climate action targets.  It sees Cork as a national hub for renewable energy, and its recent partnership with Cork GAA and SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh highlights both organisations’ commitment to a greener future.

 

Renewable energy is virtually limitless. It allows us to harness energy from the sun, wind, and other sources.

 

Here are some interesting facts about renewable energy in Ireland:

 

Ø Cork, the renewable energy hub: With over a dozen clean energy companies, Cork has the potential to become a major renewable energy hub.

Ø Wind farms galore: There are over 400 wind farms on the island of Ireland with a total installed capacity of almost 6,000MW. *

Ø A major contributor: In 2023, wind farms provided 35% of Ireland’s electricity. *

Ø A European leader: Per capita, Ireland ranks second in Europe for wind and solar energy production. **

Ø Cost savings: Every time a wind turbine generates electricity, this leads to a decrease in wholesale energy prices. *

Ø Ideal for offshore wind: Ireland has over 3,000km of coastline, making it an ideal location for offshore wind. ***

Ø Solar power in all weather: Solar panels do not need direct sunlight to work and can still produce electricity on cloudy days. ****

Ø Longevity: A wind turbine and solar panel can generate power for up to 30 years. *****

Ø Economic impact: Wind energy saved Ireland €918 million in 2023, revenue that would have been spent on gas. *

 

Statkraft: Powering a Brighter Future for Ireland

Headquartered in Cork, Ireland’s capital of renewable energy development, Statkraft is at the forefront of this green revolution. Since 2018, when Statkraft, Europe’s largest producer of renewable energy, acquired the Irish and UK wind development businesses of the Element Power Group, our team has more than tripled.

 

We’ve invested approximately €450 million into the Irish business, making us one of the biggest renewable energy developers in Ireland and driving our plans to build 3GW of onshore, offshore, solar, battery, and grid services projects by 2030.

 

Statkraft is not just a significant player in Cork; we’re committed to the region. For example, earlier this year, we announced a partnership with Cork GAA. This partnership focuses on promoting Cork as a national hub for renewable energy generation, foster careers in the local renewable energy industry along with supporting SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh’s efforts to work towards a greener future.

 

Global Wind Day: Experience renewable energy

You can witness the power and potential of renewable energy for yourself. On June 15th, celebrate Global Wind Day by visiting your local wind farm—completely free of charge! Witness renewable energy in action, connect with nature, and learn about wind energy. Check out the Wind Energy Ireland website to find wind farms near you.
