Walled Town Days –

The sun shone on a lively and busy walled town day in Fethard on Sunday, 22nd August 2010. Thank-you to Heather, Thelma and their helpers who served teas at Holy Trinity Church and raised some much needed funds for the renovation and maintenance of that wonderful building

This was a huge success. The town was packed with enthusiastic people, many in costume. Large numbers visited Holy Trinity church and walked the walls.

The flags flew from the church and tower roofs and lots of people enjoyed the refreshments porvided by parishioners and friends. This was an inspired idea by somebody and much credit is due to this congregation for their efforts to maintain and renovate their church.
About €600 was raised and will go towards the church restoration fund. Thank-you!

Walled Town Day –

In spite of the rain both venues in South Tipperary enjoyed success. The events at old St. Mary’s had to be confined to the church, but a goodly number of people enjoyed Banna Cluain Meala and varius activities.
Fethard is light years beyond Clonmel! On the Saturday night the conservation plan for the walls of Fethard was launch. On the Sunday our church was open all afternoon and the visitor numbers were greatly increased on last year – thanks to the rain! As usual the streets and riverside was alive with activity.

Walled Town Day –

Both Fethard and Clonmel are among the few walled towns left in Ireland. Sunday, 23rd August is the day. There will be workshhops in our hall and events at the walls at Old St. Mary’s in the afternoon. Fethard plans something similar to their more lavish celebrations of the last few years on the day – the church will be open in the afternoon and there will be fun and games for all!
