Make the most of this special time of year in Kanturk

-

The winter season is every bit as important to Kanturk as its summer one as it’s a time to take stock of a busy year while letting the magic of Christmas carry you through the deep mid-winter.

The town’s businesses put on their festive faces and cater for those looking to take it easy over the holidays, while the town’s bars and restaurant­s pull out all the stops as they look to make your festive socialisin­g worthy of the time of year.

Kanturk puts on no shortage of entertainm­ent during the holidays, all of which plays to the strengths of people in search of that unique festive atmosphere. Shopfronts in Kanturk are not found wanting either when it comes to Yuletide cheer and Kanturk’s shopping experience at Christmas very much reflects the effort involved in making Christmas a ‘people-centred’ time of year: free parking, convenient retail opening times, value, festive foods, Christmas events and much more besides.

Kanturk is a town that knows how to entertain children and adults alike and no time of year is better at blending these two groups together than Christmas. So be sure to wrap up and head to town over the holidays and enjoy all Kanturk has to offer.

There’s much to do in Kanturk at Christmas as the town puts on its best display of life in a small Irish town, churning out its own exclusive atmosphere from Christmas lights, the crib, decoration­s in shop windows and homes, all conspiring to add the sort of uplifting ceremony that no matter how good or bad a year it’s been, everything feels just right. That’s the spirit of Christmas.

Kanturk at any time of year is special, but Kanturk at Christmas is a celebratio­n of all things local and sacred in a fast changing world. So be sure to spend time in the local bars, enjoy an evening meal or two in one of its many restaurant­s; spend in the local shops for special gifts; spend time with friends, old and new.

Christmas is a time for brief respite and relaxation so keep Christmas local by keeping it in Kanturk.
