Over the summer, we are delighted to welcome the Riddett family to MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory as part of the family-friendly Great Aviva Road Trip. We are hosting the Riddett family for a fun-filled day out, and loved taking part in the fantastic road trip around the Emerald Isle.
The Great Aviva Road Trip 2024 it’s on! A partnership between Aviva and Citroën provided one lucky winning family with a brand-new Citroën C5 Aircross ë-Series Plug-In Hybrid for their road trip along with car insurance provided by Aviva. The trip includes 10 days of activities – surfing, visiting fun fairs, heritage parks, and more, inspiring others to explore our beautiful island of Ireland.
