Located in the heart of south County Wexford, the village’s retail offering and level of service to customers has never been better. Wallace’s Supervalu lies at the centre of the village retail experience, providing for all of your food, Christmas drinks and clothing needs, and a visit to their Christmas Shop at the hardware store is a must.

Arriving into the village at any time of the year there is always a buzzy atmosphere and this is especially true at Christmas time.

For time immemorial the village by the water has been

a hub of activity, bridging the gap between the retail hubs of Wexford town and New Ross.

To this day you can enjoy hassle free parking, dining and entertainm­ent in the village, with no parking meters to worry about.

The thriving village was historical­ly called Ballyowen (Baile Eoin) after the townland it occupies.

The village was on the Limerick to Rosslare railway line. The railway station opened on August 1, 1906 and closed on September 18, 2010.

To this day, through the ingenuity and graft of its business owners, the village remains an important centre of activity so be sure to shop in Wellington­bridge this Christmas as you will be surprised by the retail offering and friendly service there.
