The snowdrops are up, the days are starting to stretch, and springtime is just around the corner.
This week, why not shake off the winter sluggishness and check out something new? Try your hand at an art workshop, get back into exercise with dance, Parkruns or a mountain walk, or brush up your Gaeilge in cheery company.
And as always, Clonmel Town is brimming with song, with over 20 live music events this week.
