Explore Upper Lough Erne, Complimentary Sit On Top Kayaks – at Fermanagh Lodges, every booking in August includes free sit on top kayaks, and while this isn’t a “What’s On”, these kayaks are a great way to explore the lakes, and are suitable for all ages to use, so it’s worth mentioning!
August Craft Month!
August is craft month, and why not pop into the Buttermarket in Enniskillen to meet some of our local Fermanagh based crafters. Also on Saturday 3rd August you can give Wool Spinning a go. Have you ever dreamed of transforming raw wool into beautiful, hand-spun yarn? Now’s your chance! These 30-minute hands-on sessions are perfect for beginners and fibre enthusiasts alike.
Belcoo Sports and Festival, running from 10th to 19th August 2024
This is a great festival, with two highlights worth mentioning, first is the Borderlands Cycle happening on Saturday 17th August which is a road and gravel cycle event set in the spectacular Mac Nean valley and surrounding hills of Cavan, Fermanagh and Leitrim. Second, is our absolute favourite, the Car Treasure Hunt. We got lost last year, so much for local knowledge giving a home advantage! This is happening on Sunday 18th August evening.
