Local Area Details

On the last weekend in July, the festival of Lughnasa is held, with a wide variety of entertainment available.
The highlight of this weekend is the ascent of Mt Brandon, with music and poetry reading and a picnic at its peak with the world at your feet — never to be forgotten.
On the Sunday, the Cloghane Pattern is celebrated with the festivities moving to Brandon on the Monday night.
Sheep shearing, dog trials, traditional meat pies, face painting, street entertainers, open air dancing, and music and poetry readings are just some of what is on offer.
Of course, pints of Guinness and traditional sessions can be found in all the local pubs over the weekend, and indeed, throughout the year.
The Brandon Regatta is held on one of the last Sundays in August every year.
This is a series of curragh (boat) races with many different categories.

Brandon Mountain
This is one of the most rewarding walks in Ireland. The route follows a series of red & white metal poles.
Because it is a popular walk there is a well worn route.
The initial section is tough as you gain height quickly, it later levels off and finally riser sharply as the route zig zags thourght the eask.

You will be able to find it in any shop in Cloghane and Brandon.
