Join us this Thursday, 3rd Sept. for Dear You- the first in our autumn film screening with the Mitchelstown Cinema Club. Doors open, 7pm, film starts at 7.30pm. Tickets €8/€10 including refreshments.

Dear You, a poignant film about love, distance and heartbreak in 20th-century Asia. Directed by Lang Hongchun and with a largely unknown cast, Dear You is an unusual film to describe. The film opens with Hiau-ui, a young man in modern-day China looking to leech some money off his grandmother Ye Shurou. When he discovers that his grandfather, who fled from China in 1945 to avoid conscription, might still be alive in Thailand with a wife and children and is a billionaire, he rushes off hoping to save himself from debt. What Hiau-ui finds in Thailand is so much more profound and tragic than he could ever have expected.

Saint Georges Mitchelstown is delight to welcome Mallow artist Mel O’Dea for her exhibition- “Paintings”, which is being launched tomorrow- Friday, 31st July @ 7.30pm and will run from Friday 31st July to Tuesday 13th August from 10am to 12.30 and 2.30pm-4.30pm Monday to Friday.

Mel works as a poet, novelist and artist, having published a novel, Ripples on the Lake with The Forest Press and having had various poems published both online, in magazines and newspapers.
Mel has also had a number of exhibitions, both solo and joint, in London and Ireland since embarking on her artistic career in 2000, using both conventional spaces as well as more “alternative” ones such as cafes, bars, restaurants, even churches.

Her most recent exhibition was in the West End Arts Studios, an Arts Centre in her native Mallow in June 2024. Mel is fascinated with imagery and the creative potential of language and writes in a style she calls “fusion”, a poetry-prose hybrid.

Looking forward to this Heritage Week event which continues the amazing links between the Ballyhoura region and Canada.

Ballyhoura Development CLG John Tierney Historic Graves

As part of National Heritage Week 2026, Ballyhoura Development CLG is delighted to present "Carved in Stone: Preserving a Community's Heritage", a programme exploring how gravestones, memorial inscriptions and historic burial landscapes preserve the history, identity and collective memory of communities across generations.

Bringing together local history, archaeology, genealogy and cultural heritage, the programme reveals how communities have preserved their stories in stone - from local burial grounds in North Cork to the wider Irish diaspora in Canada.

The evening begins with "Irish Names in Canadian Stone: A Transatlantic Heritage", presented by Canadian historian Patrick Leahy and Irish archaeologist John Tierney of Historic Graves Ireland. The presentation explores the legacy of the 1825 Robinson Emigration, when more than 750 people from the Cork, Limerick and Tipperary borderlands emigrated together to Canada. Through historical research and gravestone archaeology in both Douro Township and North Cork, supported by a Royal Irish Academy (RIA) research grant, the presentation traces family histories spanning centuries and examines how gravestones preserve names, places and memories carried across the Atlantic.

Following refreshments and music from the Kilworth Guitar & Music Group, the evening continues with "Gone Underground: A Heritage Preserved", a guided exploration of Brigown Cemetery, examining how burial landscapes preserve the social structure, cultural memory and identity of communities long after they have disappeared from everyday life.

Participants are welcome to attend either event individually or enjoy the full programme.
