This week’s edition is a special double issue, there is so much on in Clonmel that a single page could not fit it all!
As usual, you'll find it in pubs and shops across town, but you can also read it online below, or download the PDF.
Support the Guide
We hope you find What’s On Clonmel useful, it is the result of many hours of work by a small team of volunteers who love this town.
But we need help to keep the Guide alive! We don’t have any official funding, so we rely on your generosity to cover the costs of printing 1000 copies each week. If you would like to donate, you can use PayPal or Revolut, a few quid each week goes a long way!
We also need volunteers, you can support What's On Clonmel by joining the team: help us with event research, editing, distribution, or graphic design. Get in touch with us at whatson@clonmel.town.
