A West Cork Christmas - 2024
That magical time of year is fast approaching and to celebrate the festive period we have published A West Cork Christmas. The booklet is jam packed with recipes for you to try, interesting articles and competitions to enter.
Gavin Russell with the Riverview Veterinary Group has given us an informative article on caring for our pets over the Christmas time, Caroline Hennessy has done a review of the new cook books that have just been published. These make excellent gift ideas and will give pleasure throughout the year.
Lorna O’Regan has given us some nourishing recipes to enjoy without guilt. Our history consultant, Michelle O’Mahony charts the history of the Christmas Cracker.
The aftermath of Christmas is often a time when people plan their summer holidays, David Caldwell gives us a glimpse of Christmas in Greece which may entice you to consider it as a summer destination.
We would like to thank all of our advertisers for their support in compiling this Christmas special, they are the foundation on which our products are built.
Finally we would like to wish our contributors, advertisers and readers a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful and happy New Year.

Welcome to the last What’s On for 2024.
As we look forward to the festive period with family and friends there are some fantastic events coming up to enjoy.
Many of the local pubs provide entertainment. We have a listing for Casey’s Bar, Clonakilty covering the whole Christmas period. For Abba fans there is a concert coming up at the Celtic Ross Hotel, Rosscarbery on 5th January.
Believe, at The Model Village in Clonakilty is going from strength to strength over the festive period and is proving very popular.
Our history columnist, Michelle O’Mahony traces the history of the Christmas card for us and chef Ann Marie Butler has kindly supplied us with a lovely recipe using leftover Christmas Pudding.
