We’re going to introduce a few more features over the coming months and years, as we strive to make this unique local site even more effective.

Boomtown!
magine, if you will, one sparkling, state-of-the-place little website dedicated to one sparkling little purple patch of Wicklow.
Now, try to imagine just one eejit dedicating ten years of their life – seven days a week, 365 days a year – to that one little website.
Hey, welcome to de Greystones Guide, and me, Paul Byrne, the big eejit in question. Part town crier, part village idiot, with the Guide, you get a press agent, journalist, layout artist, marketing whizz, copywriter, photographer, poster service, agony uncle and the biggest local media outlet around (with over 507,000 hits a month in 2023) all rolled into one.
Packed with interviews, news, events, the occasional bout of nonsense and the kind of historical archives that would make Derek Paine twerk in his grave, the Guide is the crazy glue that holds this town together, celebrating our past and looking to our future whilst, most importantly, making sure that we have a comprehensive record of Greystones’ today. Along with a fair idea of what’s happening tomorrow too.
Separating the facts from the Forum, the selfless acts from the selfie twats, the helping hand from the sponsored spam, this is PR without the BS, offering a haven away from the shouting match that is social media.
There are no ads for Des Kelly Carpets here, no Paddy Power carrots dangling over our logo. The Guide is far more about community than commerce, and our stupidly low prices reflect that.
This is a 5-star soup kitchen, charging Jokers prices for Hungry Monk feasts – getting 10 times the hits of other Wicklow media yet charging one tenth of their prices.

I dont understand why younger people these days feel the need to trash the parks and beaches in Greystones.
Paul, you should pop to Greystones park and photo the place and put up a piece on it. Broken bottles, pizza boxes, crap loads of takeaway packaging, beer bottles, you name it, it’s there.
Did the parents of these mindless youths not teach them about putting their rubbish in a bin after them.
In this day and age, you would think people might have a bit more respect for their community and open areas.

Just stumbled across this site! Been gone from Greystones for many years so it’s great to see the old town!
I was on your mailing list for a few years but for some reason I was taken off it, maybe i deleted by mistake.
Would love to get back on , have been living here for the past 41 years and it a great way of knowing whats on in Greystones.
Think subscribers are automatically deleted when they don’t open a newsletter for three months or more. Will go add your name again… Cheers
