Opening Night – Thank You

Opening Night – Thank You

We were delighted with the fantastic turnout for our Brilliant Ballybunion open night on 8th February. THANK YOU to Eileen and all her team at the gorgeous Coast Cafe for their wonderful hospitality and for making it a zero waste event and avoiding single use plastic. We really appreciate all the effort Eileen and Sandra made in sourcing all the ingredients for our open night including Fairtrade Tea and Coffee.

We were delighted to have all local and Irish ingredients for the vegetarian quiches – organic eggs and spinach from Leagh Farm, Apple tart with Irish flour sourced in Manna Organic store, Tralee and apples from The Barna Way, salads from Zeb Lawlor in Listowel and honey from Simply Devine Preserves at the Beach Hive
There was lots of great conversation about growing food, taking climate action and protecting biodiversity and everyone there interacted and left with a feeling of hope, curiosity and enthusiasm. We hope to find our Brilliant collaborators very soon. Thank you to Rena Blake for capturing the lovely atmosphere of the evening

Call for Community Collaborators

Call for Community Collaborators

Brilliant Ballybunion is inviting ten Community Collaborators to take part in this exciting new Creative Climate Action project.

The project will engage the local community to creatively explore the future for Ballybunion in terms of protecting habitats and local food systems in the context of taking climate action and protecting biodiversity.

Over the two years, this project aims to create long term transformative change in four stages: Information; Exploration; Inspiration and Expression.
Brilliant Ballybunion is one of 19 large scale IGNITE projects funded under the Creative Climate Fund through Creative Ireland. The project will run from February 2024 to December 2025.

Thank you to everyone who expressed their interest in becoming a community collaborator. We are delighted with the response. The B Team are excitedly going through all the inspiring applications and we hope to be back to everyone by the 23rd February
