Following on from the success of last year’s fundraising Abseil Challenge at Thomond Park, cancer support charity Recovery Haven Kerry is doing it all again – albeit at a new location!
This time, organisers are inviting participants to scale the walls of Limerick’ historic King John’s Castle, with registration now open for the October 19th event.
The charity has once again teamed up with Nevsail Watersports and Adventures to offer this extremely unique abseiling experience, scaling from the amazing vantage point of the castle gatehouse turret and absorbing the view of Limerick’s rooftop, while descending the historic walls.

PR and marketing officer at Recovery Haven and Castleisland native, Marisa Reidy explained that the abseil is a follow-on from the charity’s hugely successful event at Thomond Park last year, which raised over €17,000 for the charity.
Spaces are limited, however – so early registration is hugely important.
“With so many charities seeking the public’s support to raise much-needed funds, we always try to offer a fundraising opportunity that is different and fun. So having seen how well last year’s event went, we decided to do it again, but change it up a bit with a new location,” said Marisa.
Team Building Day
“As well as an individual challenge, the event is also ideal as a corporate or team building day out, or a great end of season get together for sports teams and clubs,” she said.
Anyone interested in signing up for the abseil can log onto www.recoveryhavenkerry.com and clicking the event section via Recovery Haven Kerry’s social media platforms or directly via the following link: https://register.enthuse.com/ps/event/AbseilChallengeatKingJohnsCastle/Ticket?
Deposit Required
A €50 deposit is required at registration, after which participants are asked to raise an additional minimum of €250 for the charity.
This can be paid in full at registration, or if you prefer, can be fund-raised in the weeks leading up to the event by setting up a fundraising page or through sponsorship cards available from Recovery Haven.
