5 decidedly different ideas for a Nollaig na mBan get-together in Cork
Don’t fancy hitting the tiles?
Traditionally a day when the poor, exhausted mammies of Ireland were permitted to cast off their aprons and eat a currant bun with the other women of the parish while the men looked after the children, Women’s Little Christmas is still cheerfully observed in many households, although it’s now a much less stereotypical affair.
As the big night approaches on Saturday, January 6th, we’ve curated a list of unexpected experiences to celebrate the occasion with your closest gal pals.
Gougane Barra Forest Park Adventure
Round up your friends and family and embark on a picturesque day trip to Gougane Barra Forest Park, known for its captivating trails. Recommended by influencer and RTÉ presenter Roz Purcell, these trails promise a rejuvenating escape into nature.

Is there anything better than a tapas and cocktails extravaganza at Cask? They have a great Bundle Up hot cocktail on the menu right now that tastes like Christmas (get it while you can) and an especially marvellous whipped Ardsallagh goats cheese dip. Book a table outside now and enjoy the vibe.
