This week, Clonmel hosts a variety of events for Tipperary Mental Health Week, the start of Climate Action Week, as well as Autumn Harvest celebrations. And that’s before we mention the usual array of comedy, dance, and live music gigs!
What’s On Clonmel is your weekly, free guide to local entertainment and events. Find us in shops, pubs and restaurants across town. Now also available in the Tipp Echo.
Below you can read the online version, or download the PDF.
Support the Guide
This Guide is the result of many hours of work by a small team of volunteers who love this town.
We don’t have any official funding, so we rely on your generosity to cover the costs of printing 1500 copies each week. If you would like to donate, you can use PayPal or Revolut, a few quid each week goes a long way!
You can also 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.
This issue of What’s On Clonmel was funded by donations from Applefest, John Lynch, and our readers.
