Picnic in the Park Postponed Due to Inclement Weather

Our annual Picnic in the Park has been put back to Sunday, Sept 4. The weather today was not conducive to outdoor picnicking!

Plans for mini community garden for Wexford move step closer to fruition

Plans to develop a small community garden in Wexford Town are well advanced. The project is part of GIY's 'Together We Grow' initiative. Wexford County Council is supporting it. The Chamber of Commerce along with a number of local community groups will do the heavy lifting!

End-of-Summer Party at Redmond Park

Summer is nearly over and that means only one thing ... it's Picnic in the Park time at Redmond Park. This year’s Picnic takes place on Sunday, August 21 (2-5pm).

The Children's Memorial Park, to give it its formal title, has been hosting an end-of-Summer party since 2011. The event is now a firm favourite with Wexford families.

This year's Picnic has a jam-packed programme with puppet show, children’s arts zone, obstacles races, football skills, live music, hoola-hooping, face-painting, hair-braiding and much more. 

All you need is a picnic basket full of goodies, a big rug or deck chairs, and a couple of free hours to chill out. Bring a book, a guitar, bongos, a frisbee ... whatever.

There will be ice cream, coffee, water and soft drinks available on-site. 

Civil Defence will be on hand to deal with any minor emergencies.

Council puts land at Parklands on market and blocks access to Redmond Park

Wexford County Council recently made a decision to sell a field which borders Parklands estate on one side and Redmond Park on the other. Some Councillors expressed reservations about this decision at their last meeting. Expect the matter to be on the agenda again for September's meeting.
