*Mukwege Foundation charity sale update*

We are still very much looking forward to running our used and vintage clothing charity sale which will now be held in the Autumn time. This will give us plenty of time to gather donations and necessary support for the event.
Many thanks to those of you who have donated already- please rest assured that your donations will be kept in safe storage until the time of the sale.
We will issue details about further donation collections later in the year. In the meantime, bear us in mind when you are doing your spring clearouts! If you have quality clothes or accessories that you are willing to part with, we would be delighted to give them a new home while making money for this charity which supports victims of sexual abuse in war torn Africa.

We are planning a very special festive charity event this November.
Please have a root through your wardrobes for those old gems that would like a new home in aid of a worthy cause.
Contact Phyllida 087 2833961 to arrange your donation of quality clothes and accessories.
Donate, browse, shop, enjoy!

Some of our most recent reviews:

'We had the most amazing weekend at Clomantagh castle and cannot recommend it enough. The castle and grounds are magnificent and preserved as to truly take you back in time.'- Michael, Castleisland

'Our little bunch of friends were all very taken with the stylishness and comfort of Clomantagh. The castle is close to Kilkenny and other places of interests but set far enough away to give you a true “lord of the manor” experience if, like us, you’re looking for privacy and a cosy spot for a lazy getaway'- Harris, Wicklow

'My family and I had a fantastic stay in Clomantagh Castle. The beds were so comfortable and the place was sparkling clean!'- Caroline, Dublin

'The castle was absolutely brilliant! Particularly great at the moment with social distancing etc, we had a contactless check in and check out. There's a large garden and grounds and the house has lots of space as well' - Sinead, Dublin
