Clogher Eire Og Family Fun Day
At St Patrick's Park · Clogher, Co. Tyrone
At St Patrick's Park · Clogher, Co. Tyrone
Clogher Éire Óg’s annual Family Fun Day at St Patrick’s Park is one of those summer afternoons that pulls the whole community onto the pitch - and keeps them there. Organised by the club’s Entertainments and Social Sub Committee, it is built to run from toddlers through to grandparents, with activities switching between the quietly gentle and the cheerfully ridiculous. If you have young children and want a full afternoon out without driving to a city, this is the kind of event worth putting in the diary.
The programme is broad and deliberately mixed. Children get three giant bouncing castles, a mobile petting farm with farmyard animals and pony rides, face painting, a toddler play area, a penalty kick challenge with a guest goalkeeper, youth races, and a wet sponge competition that tends to draw a crowd. The fancy dress parade around the pitch has become one of the highlights - bring a costume if you want to take part, or just watch.
Adults are not left standing at the sideline. Todd’s Leap, the outdoor adventure sports company from Co. Fermanagh, has provided mini game challenges at previous editions of this event, and local rugby and soccer clubs have joined in with team challenges. There is also the now-traditional Married Men vs. Single Men match, with former Clogher legends on the pitch. A barbecue runs throughout the day, and if the Tyrone senior match happens to be live, a giant screen goes up to show it.
Clogher is a small market town on the A4/A28 corridor in mid-Tyrone, roughly equidistant between Enniskillen and Dungannon. From Omagh it is about 25 minutes south-east; from Monaghan town in the Republic it is around 30 minutes north. The club ground at St Patrick’s Park is on the Augher Road (BT76 0AD). Parking on-site and along local roads is the norm for club events of this size. There is no direct rail link to Clogher; the most practical option for those travelling without a car is the Bus Éireann or Translink services between Monaghan and Enniskillen, alighting at Clogher village.
Clogher has a quiet cathedral town feel - the Church of Ireland Cathedral of St Macartan is one of the oldest cathedral sites in Ireland, and the village sits at the foot of the Clogher Valley with good walking country close by. There is more to see in Clogher and across Co. Tyrone.
