We had a great start to our first week of Crafty Crafters with some attendees trying pastels for the first time, getting crochet tips and exploring the idea of flower pressing, stone painting and knitting were all interests the group brought along. We are enjoying sharing ideas and skills with each other while having a chat for the few hours we get together. You can be a complete beginner in a craft you bring along, none of us are experts, as a group we share ideas helping each other. Brockagh Resource Centre, Laragh from 11am to 1pm.

The Miners’ Way: Poetry & Story with Poet Jane Clarke & Historian Joan Kavanagh

Join us for this unique outdoor event on Poetry Day Ireland, 27th April 2023 from 10:30am – 1pm.

Poet Jane Clarke and historian Joan Kavanagh will lead a 5 km walk along the Miners’ Way from Glendasan to the Upper Lake in Glendalough.

Amid the spectacularly beautiful scenery of the Wicklow mountains we will follow a path downhill along the Glendasan river and into the woods leading to Glendalough. Along the way Joan Kavanagh will speak about the mining history and Jane will read poems inspired by the lives of the miners as we pass the remains of old mine workings, ruins of houses where miners lived, stands of Scots Pine planted for pit props.

Meeting Place: The Upper Car Park Glendalough, from where a bus will take us to the starting point of the walk.

Grade: This is an easy to moderate hill walk with a descent and slight ascent. It is important to have warm clothes, rain gear and boots.
