What’s On in West Cork Magazine – 16 May 2025

Welcome to the latest edition of What’s On In West Cork. Our fabulous weather continues so let’s hope it holds for Clonakilty Point To Point on 25th May next at Inchydoney and also Leap Show which takes place on June 2nd, Bank Holiday Monday.

Ann Marie Butler of the Wild Garlic@Fado in Bantry has given us a delicious summer recipe to try for shellfish lovers.

Many of the local bars have live music over the summer so we will give a shout out to Casey’s Bar and Restaurant in Clonakilty and The Harbour Bar in Leap.

Our special summer magazine, A West Cork Summer will be published for the June Bank Holiday so keep an eye out for it.

Until next time.
