Bonde söker fru features single farmers meeting a number of potential partners during the show; then, the farmer and his ‘favourite’ partner go on a dream date to a foreign location – in this case, to Ireland. It’s one of the top reality TV shows in Sweden, attracting around 1.5 million viewers each week – with many more fans chatting online about the programme.
The episode filmed here saw the farmer, Per Solberg, and his potential wife, Sofie Helmer Öhman, on their ‘romantic break’ in Ireland, visiting Cabra Castle Hotel, Carlingford Lough and Dún na Rí Forest Park. They also enjoyed oyster-tasting at PJ O Hare’s Restaurant in Carlingford and clay pigeon shooting at Rathe House Activity & Adventure Centre near Kells.
Julie McLaughlin, Tourism Ireland’s Manager for the Nordic Region, said: “This was a fun and different way to showcase Ireland and some of the many things to see and do here to a huge audience of potential Swedish holidaymakers. Bonde söker fru is hugely popular in Sweden, so we were delighted that the show’s producers chose Ireland as its dream date location.
“TV and film are recognised as strong influencers for prospective holidaymakers and Tourism Ireland regularly works with overseas TV and production companies to facilities the making of travel and lifestyle programmes, to get positive exposure for the island of Ireland around the world.”
