Tidy Towns mark National Tree Week

Bardic Festival to showcase local talent
Music, poetry and the written word will echo across the ages in Lisselton next week as the 2025 Ballydonoghue Bardic Festival takes place in the village from March 28th to 30th.
A whole host of events are lined up including workshops, a grand concert and an Irish language coffee morning.
