Spud is the creation of Rob Walsh. A native of the Garden of Ireland (County Wicklow), Rob spent over a decade in the advertising and experiential marketing business, creating experiences for some of the leading brands in the world. Spud grew out of Robs passion to showcase the best that Ireland has to offer, where he is able to use his experience, creativity and network to unlock the most unique and memorable experiences. 

Some might ask “Why Spud”. To us, the name reflects the essence of our approach. Just as the humble potato has been a staple of Irish nourishment for centuries, we see it as a symbol of the sustenance that Irish culture provides the soul. Our aim is to dig deep—like the roots of a spud—into the heart of Ireland's traditions, unearthing the authentic and often hidden aspects of Irish life and history.

Join us at Spud to explore Ireland like never before.
