A festive night of creativity and community spirit in Offaly

OFFALY is set to sparkle this December as the Birr Flower & Garden Club hosts a heart-warming Christmas Floral Demonstration, promising to ignite the festive spirit while supporting a truly life-changing cause.

Join the community on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025 at 8pm in the County Arms Hotel, Birr, where renowned floral artist Ali Dietrich will present an inspiring showcase of seasonal floral arrangements, festive styling ideas, and holiday creativity. Whether you’re passionate about design or simply looking to embrace the Christmas mood, this is an evening not to be missed.

This year’s event carries extra significance, with all proceeds supporting Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland (AADI), a charity that receives no government funding and relies entirely on the generosity of the public. Each assistance dog costs €25,000 to train over a two year period, and these incredible dogs provide safety, comfort, and independence to autistic children and their families. In 2025, AADI hopes to place 38 life changing assistance dogs nationwide, bringing hope and stability to families who need it most.
