Fréamhú Collective - Siúlóid Eanáir
We are organising a lovely outdoor learning experience, a hike in the Wicklow Mountains where we’ll soak up some fresh air and some Gaeilge!
Inspired by the work of the late Manchán Magan, we’ll be curating some vocab related to the landscape around us. Along the way, we’ll stop to share some of these words and phrases so you can learn as we walk. We’ll also send out a few conversation starters and bits of vocabulary by email beforehand, so you can brush up and have a few phrases ready to try out with your pals (or some friendly strangers!).
This is a relaxed, fun way to immerse yourself in the language, with the bonus of some beautiful views and good company. All levels are welcome, so whether you are fluent or just getting started please join us!
All funds raised go to Hometree, an organisation that endeavours to deeply connect people with nature, and facilitates a wide variety of fundamental projects to address both Ireland’s declining biodiversity and the unfolding climate challenge.
In Glendalough, Wicklow on Saturday, Jan 24 from 9:30 am to 1pm.. Book tickets from Eventbrite - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/freamhu-collective-siuloid-eanair-tickets-1979673432528?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

Laragh Christmas Lights 2025
January 9th was the final night of the Laragh Christmas Lights 2025 display.
We would like to sincerely thank our community and local businesses for their incredible support and generous donations. Together with the dedication of our amazing volunteers, you have made 2025 a huge success.
Our volunteers will be out over the next few weekends, weather permitting, to carefully take down the lights. Thank you all once again for helping to make Laragh shine.
Chair Yoga
Classes are from 11.30am to 12.30 in the Brockagh Resource Centre, Laragh.
Chair Yoga is suitable for those who find a regular yoga class too strenuous, are recovering from injury or illness or are generally less active and mobile. Louise's classes include physical poses (asana), breathing practices (pranayama) and relaxation and meditation. There is some standing work which is optional and done next to the chair.
