Irish Clubs and Associations in Switzerland

If you have recently moved to Switzerland, as with any new location it can take some time to adapt to your new surroundings. It may be beneficial to meet with other Irish citizens who are part of a local organisation or business network that can provide you with general advice, information and guidance.

Basel Irish Club

The Basel Irish Club was established in 2006 to provide a focal point for Irish people, their families, friends and all those interested in all things Irish in the Basel region. The Club aims to promote Irish social and cultural activities and events and to promote a broader understanding of Irish culture in the region. For more information, please see the website of the Basel Irish Club or find them on Facebook.
