Several events took in Enniscorthy today to mark Culture Night, the annual celebration of culture, creativity and the arts. Weather conditions were favourable and large crowds turned out at all venues.
Four brilliant events around the town were supported by Creative Places. Fifteen countries’ flags adorned the perimeter fence at Enniscorthy Community Allotments where a large crowd were treated to music and entertainment and loads of refreshments and tasty bits in the rich award-winning garden environment at Marconi Park.
Celebrations with the large Brazilian community took place at McCauley Park Bellefield GAA Bar and Lounge and Ukrainian songs and costumes shared the entertainment at Templeshannon Community Centre.
A ‘Draw and Paint’ session took place at the Hope Centre, Weafer Street and Enniscorthy Castle welcomed visitors free of charge during the afternoon and to boost the tourism and vibrancy of the occasion placed reenactors displaying “knights in shining armour” at the entrance and in the interior of the castle. Nice touch!
