Sligo’s second biggest town is always the hive of activity in the lead up to the Christmas break

Sligo’s second biggest town is always the hive of activity in the lead up to the Christmas break.

Tubbercurry, located along the N17, is a town which continues to serve a large hinterland of south Sligo, providing services for people in nearby areas such as Tourlestrane, Curry, Bunninadden, Coolaney, Mullinabreena and Cloonacool, as well as others from further afield.

Having always had a noted reputation with a strong business community, Tubbercurry’s major supermarkets provide the ideal shopping experience when it comes to buying all the necessary ingredients and foods to have those one-off Christmas meals.

The various other outlets based locally also contribute handsomely to the fantastic range of businesses in the south Sligo town.

Although the renowned local pubs - with Brennans one of those gaining international notoriety having featured in the hit series, Normal People - won’t be open this Christmas to provide some festive cheer and a brief reprieve, perhaps, from shopping, there will still be a festive atmosphere on the streets as Christmas rolls around.

Keep in mind too, to support Tubercurry’s loyal and hard-working business people who have endured a challenging year in 2020. Your support this Christmas season is the best gift you can give to them, as they look to finish the year on a positive note and look ahead to 2021 with more optimism.

If you’re from south Sligo, why not make the extra effort to shop in Tubbercurry and find your gifts locally this time around? Perhaps in years past, we drove through on the way to somewhere else, or clicked online instead of taking a look locally and seeing

what is on offer right on our doorstep.

This festive season, make the extra effort to discover Tubbercurry - you might just be pleasantly surprised!
