In case you get cabin fever at home over the next few days, here’s a few things to get up to…
1. Get to town early on Christmas Eve…
The atmosphere in town on Christmas Eve is always special so why not head in with friends and family, have a quick drink (or two) and go home early. Also, the guys from An Post usually do some singing for charity in the town centre so please give generously if you can.
2. Go for a Christmas morning run…
Get your Christmas Day off to a healthy start by taking part in a special Parkrun at the usual time of 9.30am.
This year teas and coffees will be served at the town park after the run thanks to the lovely people at the ‘The Born To Run Dashboard Diner’. Please bring your own cup to cut back on reusable cups.

3. Then head for a dip…
Whether it’s Banna, Fenit or Ballyheigue there’s Christmas Day swims only a short drive from town.
The Fenit one, in aid of the RNLI, starts at 12 noon and is the biggest in the county with upwards of 800 people regularly taking part. For slightly later risers, the Banna swim takes place at 12.30pm.
4. Walk off the turkey…
Join Michael ‘Fox’ O’Connor and friends for the annual Bill Kirby Memorial Walk on St Stephen’s Day. It starts at the Brogue Inn at 11.30am but the fun and entertainment beings at 11am.
