What’s On in West Cork - September 2024

Where did this year go? We are now entering the new autumn season which currently is highlighted by back to school or college.

Chef Ann Marie Butler has provided a couple of different ideas for school lunch boxes, while our history columnist, Michelle O’Mahony has put together a fascinating article on writing through the ages.

As autumn comes upon us it would be great if we could enjoy an Indian summer.

September is a great time for walking and foraging, if the weather holds there is still plenty to see and do in West Cork at this splendid time of year.

Until next time
