Something for the film lovers!

An Taibhse (The Ghost) will be screened at the hall on Wednesday 18th November.

Experience a landmark in Irish cinema: An Taibhse (The Ghost), the first horror feature made entirely in Irish. Written and directed by John Farrelly and executive produced by six-time Academy Award nominee Jim Sheridan.

 
This award-winning, critically acclaimed film draws audiences into the darkness of post-famine Ireland. A father and daughter arrive at a remote mansion to care for it through the winter. As the cold closes in, their refuge becomes a nightmare. With haunting atmosphere, striking cinematography and powerful performances, An Taibhse is a chilling big-screen experience.
 
Presented in Irish with English subtitles.
This is a ticketed event. Bookings to be made through Humanitix, please follow the link.

Hey Folks,

We’re rallying behind an incredible cause!

Jamie Woods, a member of the Waimak Gaels GAA is taking on the 2027 Kathmandu Coast to Coast in February. A grueling 247km multisport race to raise funds for the Kevin Bell Reparation Trust.

The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust exists to lift the financial burden from heartbroken Irish families, helping them bring home loved ones who have tragically or unexpectedly passed away abroad.

Every dollar raised will directly aid Irish families during their times of deepest grief.

Jamie has set up a gofundme and we would really appreciate the support of our community to help Jamie reach his goal.
