Community note

Around Manorhamilton

Manorhamilton's weekly diary runs through Bee Park as well as the arts buildings. BeePark Community Centre on New Line describes its work as economic, cultural and community benefit and carries practical posts such as free period-poverty supplies in the ladies bathrooms, charity/sponsorship notices and ALONE volunteer calls for County Leitrim. Manorhamilton Farmers Market is based at Bee Park Resource Centre every Friday from 10am to 2pm, with the listing naming it as a lively local market, and the public listing adding that it started in April 2005, supports local producers, moves indoors in winter and is still looking to expand the stall mix. Recent market notes even give the small town detail of coffee-stall activity. North Leitrim Women's Centre is also part of the Bee Park/New Line picture, with supports including a Well Woman clinic, affordable counselling, training, group activity and community heritage through Leitrim Women Through Time. Glencar Manorhamilton GAA is another Bee Park anchor, with a 50/50 draw, youth Academy-season notes and weekly club notices. Manorhamilton Tidy Towns adds the civic side with a community-against-litter road-sign project and town plan, while community outreach material places tennis, chess, boxing, Men's Shed, Girls Brigade, women's group and parent-and-toddler activity in Bee Park Community Centre. The Glens Centre keeps the youth arts line with Rockschool from 29 June to 3 July 2026, the Rockschool concert on 3 July and PEACEPLUS Arts & Film Training Camp from 13 to 17 July for ages 13 to 18. Leitrim Sculpture Centre adds exhibitions and workshops, including Leitrim Women Through Time with North Leitrim Women's Centre. The town's summer board also includes Africa Day 2026 at Bee Park, Manorhamilton Community Games, July tennis camps, Leitrim Glens Sportive on Sunday 2 August 2026, Sharon Loughlin's annual fun run/walk from Newtownmanor Hall and the Lissinagroagh Wind Farm planning file for the wider Manorhamilton/Rossinver area. The main civic file to keep beside the arts diary is Lissinagroagh Wind Farm. Leitrim County Council says the Strategic Infrastructure Development application can be inspected from 21 May 2026, with EIAR and NIS material available through An Coimisiún Pleanála under case reference PAX12.324290, and submissions due by 5.30pm on 10 July 2026. The project site says FuturEnergy Ireland submitted the application in May 2026 for a 14-turbine wind farm and associated works.
