Pigtown Listings – 24th-30th January 2022
Well, we definitely didn’t think we’d be here so quickly, did we? It looks like Covid restrictions are being lifted. With that in mind, I thought it was a good time to resurrect the Pigtown Listings. As always, all events and times are subject to change (especially so this week). I’ll try keep this updated throughout the week but please check with individual event organisers for more information. Also, remember that event/venue staff are going to be under a lot of pressure in the coming days – don’t be a gowl and add to the stress. All week Celebrating one Continue Reading
Seven Fun Things To Do This Week – 19th October
There’s a lot of uncertainty around at the moment. As we write this, we’re no closer to figuring out if we’re moving to level 5 or even to level 4. All we can do is keep doing our best. Keep your distance, wash your hands and wear a mask. With no events going on, we thought a different approach to the weekly listing was needed. So for the next few weeks, we’re going to bring you a list of Seven Fun Things You Can Do This Week. It will be a mix of online events, walking routes, music/book recommendations, sporting Continue Reading
Pigtown Listings – 17th – 23rd August
UPDATE: With the new Covid-19 restrictions announced on Tuesday and the weather warnings in place, it is likely that many events will be cancelled, rescheduled or modified. With all events listed, please check in advance if the event is going ahead (most require pre-booking anyway) and always follow the safety instructions of event organisers at all times. In some respects this year seems to never end but it’s also moving very quickly at the same time. Only seems like yesterday that I resumed doing the Pigtown Listings each week but that was the 6th of July. Where has the last Continue Reading
Pigtown Listings – 10th – 16th August
So welcome to another Pigtown Listings. Unfortunately, we now know the pubs won’t be opening up this week. This will be disappointing for a lot of you, not least those who are waiting to return to work. That said, there’s still plenty to do in Limerick this week. Therefore, if you’re attending any of the events listed below, be sensible. Please respect the event organisers’ Covid-19 procedures. Wear your facemask if required. Most of these events require pre-booking so check the links provided in advance. Our Pigtown Pick of the Week is the 5th Annual 10K Charity Paddle for Rapecrisis Continue Reading
Limerick Podcasts
Don’t you just love a good podcast? Whether its while relaxing at home, as background music while you work or a soundtrack to your run, there’s something nice about listening to someone talk. This week we’re going to look at some Limerick Podcasts (either featuring Limerick people or about Limerick) that are worth checking out. Food for Thought To begin with, we’ll start with the obvious one – the Blindboy Podcast. Since he first started recording his weekly podcast in October 2017, Blindboy has gained a cult following well beyond the Rubberbandits fanbase. His podcast is consistently one at the Continue Reading
Pigtown Listings – 3rd to 9th August
UPDATED 6/8/2020 We hope you all enjoyed the bank holiday weekend. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty to do this week. In particular, we’d recommend our Pigtown Pick of the week which is a Sunset Hike in the Galtee Mountains with Britton Outdoors on Friday evening. If you enjoy these weekly listings, we have a simple favour to ask. Please follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and like, share and comment on the posts for this week’s listings. It might seem like a small ask but it goes a long way for a small website like ours. All Week The Continue Reading
Pigtown Listings – 27th July to 2nd August
Updated 29/7/2020 I spoke be starting this week’s Pigtown Listings by talking how amazing the Live at the Drive-In gigs were. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The events sector has been hit hard by COVID-19 and will continue to struggle for some time to come. If you can at all, log on to www.songsfromanemptyroom.com and make a donation to support the crews that make events happen. It’s a somewhat quieter week this week but there are still a few events going on. All Week UL and the Limerick PPN are hosting a special consultation on the Limerick Directly Elected Continue Reading
Pigtown Listings – 20th to 26th July
Update 21/7/20 – since publishing this week’s listings, we have since heard the sad news that the Live at the Drive-In gigs have been cancelled due to changes to the Covid-19 restrictions. This is devastating news for Dolans and all those who were due to work at the gigs. With this in mind, we would strongly encourage you to support the Songs From Another Room show on Saturday in aid of Minding Creative Minds and Association of Irish Stage Technications (AIST) Hardship Fund. More details below The pubs might not be opening after all but there’s still lots going in Continue Reading
Pigtown Listings – 13th to 19th July
Updated 15/7/2020 Bit of quieter week this week but events are happening none the less. Remember to let us know if you have an event you want us to publish in the Pigtown Listings. Remember, a lot of Restaurants, Hotels, Pubs, Cafes, and other businesses are in the process of opening up. While this is great to see, please be patient with staff, maintain your social distance, wear your mask, and wash your hands. Don’t forget to continue supporting Limerick businesses through Lean On Me All Week Limerick City & County Residents get a 15% discount all week at King John’s Continue Reading
