iron throne event - 23rd & 24th february

11/1/2019

Game of Thrones Fans take your seat on the Iron Throne.

Have you ever dreamed of being a King, Queen or Khaleesi?

Do you love the worldwide Book & TV hit Game of Thrones, where you win or you die?

Unlike Ned Stark, there is no need to lose your head to achieve your dream of sitting on the iconic Iron Throne of the Kingdom of Westeros, as it will be exclusively in Showgrounds Shopping Centre, Clonmel this coming Saturday February 23rd and Sunday 24th February 2019, open to the public to take their seat on the Iron Throne. Tickets available at event and online at ironthrone.ie from €10 include seated professional photos.

The ‘Iron Throne Experience’ is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Calling it “impressive” is an understatement. On the epic Game of Thrones TV show, the Iron Throne was constructed by Aegon I Targaryen, the first king of the Seven Kingdoms. He made it from the swords surrendered by his enemies. Legend has it, it’s made of a thousand swords that took 59 days to hammer out into a throne. Spikes and jagged edges in every direction make this one very intimidating lounge. Iron Throne Experience’s HBO licensed Game of Thrones prop replica measures over 7’2” in height, 5'11" in depth and 5'5" in width. Also on display are the HBO Game of Thrones Crown of Joffrey Baratheon, and swords Ice, Longclaw, Needle, Oathkeeper and Widow’s Wail, and Dragon eggs prop replicas.

“In Game of Thrones many people die in the battle to rule Westeros from the Iron Throne, but the people of Munster don’t need to lose their heads to sit on the Iron Throne. They can come along to the Showgrounds Shopping Centre, Clonmel from February 23rd to 24th” says Centre Manager Julian Smith.

Be the envy of all your friends, take your seat on the Iron Throne only at the Showgrounds Shopping Centre, Clonmel. Open February 23rd Saturday 10am to 6pm, and 24th Sunday 12pm to 6pm. Tickets available from €10 at event and online at ironthrone.ie
