Afternoon Tea at Lisbellaw Parish Centre

Lisbellaw Parish Centre holds an afternoon tea fundraiser on Saturday, 12 September 2026, from 2:00pm to 4:30pm. It is a straightforward parish social, tea, sandwiches and traybakes served over a couple of hours, with proceeds going toward parish funds. There is no fixed admission charge; the event runs on the usual afternoon-tea model of a free walk-in with donations and a raffle covering the fundraising side of it.

What to expect

The format is familiar to anyone who has been to a parish afternoon tea before: tables set with sandwiches, scones and home baking, tea and coffee poured throughout the afternoon, and volunteers from the parish doing the serving. A raffle usually runs alongside events of this kind in Fermanagh parishes, giving a second source of funds beyond what is collected at the door. Lisbellaw is part of the Church of Ireland parish grouping within the Diocese of Clogher, and its parish centre hosts small fundraisers like this through the year to help cover the running costs of parish buildings. It is a low-key, sociable event rather than a ticketed occasion, aimed mainly at parishioners and neighbours in Lisbellaw, though visitors passing through are welcome to call in for the two and a half hours it runs.

Getting there

Lisbellaw is on the A4, about ten minutes east of Enniskillen on the road toward Maguiresbridge. The Parish Centre is in the village itself, within walking distance of Lisbellaw’s Main Street, with parking available on site.

While you’re in Lisbellaw

Lisbellaw is a small Main Street village on the road between Enniskillen and Maguiresbridge, with Colebrooke Forest and Castle Coole both within easy reach for a longer visit. There is more to see in Lisbellaw and across Co. Fermanagh.
