Fundraiser for Hollyfort Tidy Towns

Highly Recommended in Access for All

Hollyfort Village was Highly Recommended in the Access for All competition for their application for the installation of four wooden benches along the Mt. Nebo Trail.  The judges have included extra funding for the erection of an information board.
We are delighted with the opportunity to work with Coillte in opening up this trail and making it more accessible to all walkers, from the young to the elderly.

Tidy Towns Results - 251 Points

Tidy Towns Results are in and  we are delighted to be awarded 251 points - up 7 points from last year! Big thanks to all those who planted, weeded, mowed, attended fund raisers, bought raffle tickets and generally supported the efforts of the Tidy Towners. 
Good comments by the TT adjudicator. Read them here

Congrats to one and all

Hollyfort joins Gap Arts Festival 2017

Hollyfort features strongly in this year's Gap Arts Festival with Paula Meehan, former Ireland Professor of Poetry, facilitating a major poetry event in the Old School. Over a day-and-a-half, 11 participants worked with Paula in front of a blazing fire. This workshop was followed by a public reading (free) in St. John's Church.
Paula Meehan, a highly esteemed Irish poet, opened and closed the event with a reading of several of her well-known poems. Paula was joined by workshop participants with a reading of their own poems.

Hollyfort was also featured in the Gap's festival film project on Hunter Gowan and we are pleased to say that the village looked very well in all the shots!
