Funds raised at last year’s Nenagh Christmas Tree Festival were used to help in the building of outdoor equipment for the older children at Mírmeara 2 Autism Class, Kiladangan National School.This year we celebrate our 10th Nenagh Christmas Tree Festival at St Mary’s Church of Ireland in Nenagh.
Thanks to you, the festival has gotten bigger and better than ever. The important dates are: Wednesday - Sunday, December 10-14 with exhibits brought in December 6 or 8. Submit your tree or exhibit information to nenaghchristmastrees@gmail.com.
The full schedule is slightly different this year. Notice we have split the Carol Service and Prize Giving. Wednesday to Friday is 1pm to 5.30pm with pre-booking for school groups in the mornings, using the above email address to submit prior booking Saturday, 11am to 6pm, followed by the Carol Service, Sunday, 11am to 6pm, followed by a short closing ceremony to announce Christmas Tree Prize winners and raffle prizes.
As always, we have afternoon teas for €8 with OAPs and students, €5; seasonal produce and bric-a-brac for sale, a raffle with wonderful prizes, and the chance to view around 80 beautiful exhibits.
We never knew how artistic our friends and neighbours are until we saw some of the remarkable work done for this festival. For only a €5 entry fee (kids free), you can enjoy all this. And you can vote for your favourite tree!
Last year our charity partner was Mírmeara 2 Autism Class, Kiladangan National School, Puckane. They needed money to help in the building of outdoor equipment for the older children.
As always, the proceeds are in aid of the Nenagh Union of Parishes and our charity partner, which this year is North Tipperary Hospice Cancer Support Centre at Suaimhneas, Nenagh.
Do join us for our 10th Christmas Tree Festival! We have some special things planned to support this milestone and of course you, who have made it so artistic and interesting for so many of us.
