HEALTHY Carlow said the second event of Tullow Multicultural Supper Club, held in early December at the Cairdeas Centre in Tullow, was a big success. This initiative continues its mission to celebrate the rich diversity within the community through the universal languages of food and music.

The Tullow Multicultural Supper Club provides a unique opportunity for people from all differing cultures to come together, share their culinary traditions and enjoy music from their cultural backgrounds. The event brought together individuals in a warm, inclusive atmosphere, fostering understanding and connection among Tullow’s diverse communities.

“We are incredibly proud to host these events that bring people together through food and music,” said Martina Walsh from Healthy Carlow. “This supper club is an important platform for celebrating the diverse cultures that make Tullow such a vibrant and welcoming place.” Attendees enjoyed a delightful buffet featuring dishes from around the world, showcasing the diverse flavours and cooking traditions of Tullow’s residents. The evening also featured live music from different cultures, adding to the festive spirit.
Frank Morris of Tullow Men’s Shed shared his enthusiasm for the event: “The Tullow Multicultural Supper Club is a fantastic way to connect people of all backgrounds. It’s heartening to see the community come together in such a joyful and inclusive setting.” The Multicultural Supper Club is fast becoming a beloved tradition in Tullow, offering a platform for cultural exchange and celebrating what makes the community unique.

This initiative is funded by Healthy Carlow and supported by a wide range of local organisations, including Carlow County Council, County Carlow Development Partnership, the Cairdeas Centre, Develop Tullow Association and Tullow Men’s Shed. Together, they are working to build a more connected community.
Let’s continue to celebrate the cultures that make Tullow a truly special place to live.
