Leitrim Life spring edition - out now!

Get ready for the February/March edition of Leitrim Life, hitting the shelves this Tuesday, February 25!

We are very proud to bring you the first edition for 2025, shining a light on the many events and people who enrich the county of Leitrim.

We meet Leitrim sculptor Jackie McKenna and hear of her craft and recent labour of love, an impressive piece of public art which was erected in Ballinamore.

A profile of Tomisin Fagbo gives us a fascinating insight into her story while Leonie Cornelius details her passion for garden design and architecture.

Head chef from Buffalo Boy, Daniel Knight takes us on a journey of his international culinary career and also shares a mouth-watering signature dish from their restaurant.

Leitrim has a vibrant cultural scene and we take a look at what events there are scheduled over the coming weeks. We also feature photo coverage from the recent Eiver’s Lane gala ball, which is now firmly established as a standout night in Leitrim’s social scene.

Graham Allen from Carrick-on-Shannon Athletics Club has some words to inspire your fitness goals for 2025, and with the focus very much on Mother’s Day, we have a definitive guide on where to go in Leitrim to celebrate the most important woman in your life.

We also learn how Sinead and Pascal Gillard, owners of Jinny's Bakery, spend their St Patrick’s Day and they also share details of their favourite food and drinks.

We hope you enjoy the latest edition of Leitrim Life.
