Roscrea's old Courthouse became a lively Rambling House for Heritage Week

OH what a night! Roscrea Heritage Soxiety and Age Friendly Roscrea have posted a huge thanks to all who joined the Rambling House to coincide with National Heritage Week.

A fantastic night was had by all and your support is greatly appreciated! Musicians on the night were Dick, Paschal, Colin,

Thanks to the storytellers, jokers, poets, singers and dancers, way too many to mention for fear of leaving someone out.

Thanks to all at Age Friendly Roscrea for the use of your fabulous venue and all hands on deck help!

Last but not least, huge thanks to RHS ’Resident Fear an Tí’ that is Séamus Moloughney, who as usual, worked the room like a charm and encouraged all to showcase their jokes, stories, songs and dance!

The night couldn’t have been possible without the efforts of everyone involved who made the occasion one to remember.
