🎣 A Big Day on the Water!

Congratulations to Daniel on landing his first pike — and what a beauty at over 90cm!
He and his dad, James, took out one of our day hire boats yesterday and had an incredible few hours on the lake, catching two fine pike in quick succession.

It’s fantastic to see such great catches — and even better to see families making memories on the water.

🌟 One Month On — A Milestone to Remember

It’s been just over a month since we proudly opened the doors to our new Sensory Shed on 26th September, and what a wonderful first few weeks it has been! ✨

Our opening day was a moment of true celebration, marked by smiles, laughter, and community spirit. We were honoured to welcome Des Travers, CEO of DPD, who joined us to officially cut the ribbon and help us mark this special occasion.

Since then, the Sensory Shed has quickly found its place in the heart of our community — a peaceful, welcoming space where visitors can pause, unwind, and explore a range of soothing sensory experiences. It’s become a little haven for relaxation and reflection, open to everyone.

💙 Bookings are open! You can easily reserve your session through our website or by giving us a quick call.

A heartfelt thank you to the AIB Community Fund for providing the spark that set this project in motion, and to DPD for their generous support in bringing it to life.

As we look back on our first month, we’re filled with gratitude — and excitement for all the calm, connection, and joy this space will continue to bring.

🌊 The Inchcleraun VR Project — A Journey Through Time

We are now only weeks away from unveiling the Inchcleraun VR Project — a window into the living soul of Inchcleraun Island, where history, myth, and nature meet upon the waters of Lough Ree.

Together, we are discovering how virtual reality can:

Open the gates of heritage to all

Rekindle the art of storytelling in new dimensions

Safeguard what is fragile, yet timeless

Inspire fresh paths for learning, wonder, and connection

Each step brings us closer to a world where the past is not merely remembered — but experienced.

👑 What Lies Ahead

In our next edition, we’ll share a glimpse of the journey ahead — and perhaps even the moment when you stand before Queen Maeve, her legend woven once more into the living landscape of Lough Ree.

Thank you for walking this path with us.
The lake still holds its secrets — but not for long.
