Roscommon Community Centre Summer Programmes

Community and family resource centres across County Roscommon run a steady programme of clubs, classes and drop-in sessions right through the summer months, and most of it costs little or nothing to attend. The programmes are locally run rather than centrally coordinated, so what is on offer varies from town to town, but the pattern repeats across the county: a hall that hosts a bingo night one evening, a Men’s Shed session another, and a mix of clubs, classes and social groups filling the rest of the week.

What to expect

Examples confirmed around the county this summer include weekly bingo nights in Athleague, Elphin and Cortober, Men’s Shed sessions in Roscommon town, Ballaghaderreen and Strokestown, a monthly Connect Café at Boyle Family Resource Centre for chat and board games, and monthly guild and club meetings such as the Roscommon Town ICA Guild and Roscommon Garden Club. Many of these run on a fixed weekly or monthly date, with an entry fee at the door for bingo nights and most club sessions free or by small donation. Family resource centres also run food-support services, youth drop-ins and children’s workshops alongside the adult-focused clubs.

Getting there

Community centres are dotted through every town and village in Roscommon, from Roscommon town and Boyle to Athleague, Elphin, Strokestown and Ballaghaderreen. Most have on-site or nearby parking, and several sit within walking distance of a town’s main street.

While you’re in Roscommon

There is more to see across Co. Roscommon, including Roscommon town, with its castle ruins and county museum, and the market towns that host these community programmes.
