This international friendship day (Wednesday, 30th July), Carrickmines Park is raising a glass (and an Allen key) to the friendships that make life that bit easier and a lot more fun.

Whether it’s a spontaneous coffee catch-up or a two-person mission to assemble your latest IKEA find, everything’s better together.

When it comes to IKEA, building something together is an experience. An innocent looking flat-pack becomes a shared project. The manual? A step-by-step invitation to laugh, chat, and create something you’ll be proud of.

Whether you’re giving your space a little refresh with a new side table or taking on a full home makeover, you’ll fly through the build when you’re doing it together. One reads the instructions, the other hunts for the screws – and before you know it, you’ve created something more meaningful than just furniture.

And when the final drawer slids into place, there’s only one thing left to do… celebrate! Pop over to O’Briens Wine at Carrickmines Park and grab a bottle of something you both love. Kick back, admire your handiwork, and toast to surviving the ultimate friendship test: IKEA furniture assembly.
