After two amazing and busy weeks we are back to our usual 4-page format. Some of us are on holidays, but Clonmel does not stop: this issue was edited in a tent on a field!
While you enjoy all that Clonmel has to offer, please remember that What’s On Clonmel is a volunteer project and that we need your help.
We need your donations to print the guide and keep promoting our town and all it has to offer. Donate with Revolut to help keep promoting our town and all it has to offer. G’wan, give us a few quid!
