This week we have another issue packed with activities: the bank holiday weekend brings visitors and lots of live music, summer camps for children, hiking, walking tours, social events and learning opportunities for all ages.
While you enjoy all that Clonmel has to offer, please remember that What’s On Clonmel is a volunteer project.
Lately, donations have not been enough to cover our costs and we really need your help to keep promoting our town and all it has to offer. Support the guide.
