Commemoration to mark one year since arrival of Ukrainians

A ‘Better Together Community Commemoration’ event will take place at Donamon Castle this Saturday afternoon (March 18th) from 1 to 4 pm to mark the one-year anniversary of the arrival of Ukrainian refugees to Roscommon.

Thanks to the effort of local volunteers, the former Cuisle Holiday Centre was transformed into a welcome and accommodation centre for people fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine last year. Groups such as Roscommon Lions Club, Roscom- mon Volunteer Centre, LEADER, and Roscommon County Council came together in a show of tremendous community spirit.

All those involved in the effort to welcome the Ukrainian people to Donamon are invited to attend Saturday’s event. Activities will include a tour of the castle, face-painting, arts and crafts, photo zone, presentation on the history and culture of Ukraine, and samples of Ukrainian food, music and dance.

Our Chefs are busy, working with a delicious menu for this special day with plenty of mouthwatering options for you and your family to enjoy.
