About Glen of Aherlow

The Glen of Aherlow, Tipperary’s most attractive and scenic holiday destination, is a lush valley where the River Aherlow runs between the Galtee Mountains and the wooded ridge of Slievenamuck. Bounded by the rural villages of Bansha and Galbally, the Glen was historically an important pass between Limerick and Tipperary. Read more

Club Ceoil

Tipperary County Council

club-ceoilClub Ceoil is a social evening of music, song, dance and poetry which takes places in a variety of pubs and venues across the Glen of Aherlow. The entertainers are all amateur locals who love to perform and enjoy others performing.

It is run every Thursday evening during July and August for our summer season. We welcome the many visitors who are in the Glen at that time, many who will also get involved and sing or bring an instrument.

This summer two of our American visitors were traditional ukulele musicians and gave a wonderful performance in Templeneiry Church.

Club Ceoil enables the locals and visitors to meet and interact in a social setting, thus extending the welcome to our domestic and international visitors
