Gap Arts Fest

Gorey Active Retirement welcomes the latest lifting of restrictions as it brings back some normality, and would encourage older people who are going out for walks to walk in areas that are less frequented with people.

All at Gorey Active Retirement hope that the end will not be too much longer, and ask that you continue what you are doing and you will be safe.

The Gap Festival is considering novel ways of reaching its audience without bringing a crowd together in the traditional theatre, music and movie sense.
