If It’s Mother’s Day Its Antique Time…
Some parents may feel disquiet over the synchrony but next Mother’s Day (Sunday Mar 14th) coincides with an antique fair at Youghal’s Walter Raleigh Hotel. Up to a dozen dealers from throughout Munster are expected to attend and will gladly appraise household items, including crockery, jewellery, coins, books and even furniture. By Christy Parker
The annual fair is held on behalf of Cloyne Diocese’s Lourdes Invalid Fund and this year marks its seventh occurrence. The late Mary Neville, of Neville’s Drapery and who passed away at a young age twelve months ago, established the event. It is now being overseen by her family and friends. The fair has raised approximately €40,000 over the year, helping the Cloyne Diocesan Pilgrimage to send local pilgrims to Lourdes each June.
Admission is €3 on the door or in advance, with the profits helping to send pilgrims from the diocese to Lourdes next June. Each admission fee qualifies for a draw in which a hamper from Scott’s gift & treasure shop and a €100 dinner voucher for the world-renowned Ahern’s Seafood Restaurant are the prizes. All that and you might even get your mother evaluated!
Doors open 11am-7pm. Inquiries from Ann on 087-7638062.
