COMMUNITY INITIATIVES & PROJECTS

Allihies is a vibrant community consisting of a museum, restaurant, cáfe, three pubs and a grocery shop. There is a strong sense of community with such projects as the Allihies Community Allotments being administered under the Allihies Men’s Shed. Allihies Community Hall also hosts quiz nights, wedding receptions, birthday parties, gigs, and yoga and boasts a recently newly refurbished gym. As well as farming, fishing and tourism, the region is also sustained by the arts culture it has developed. Artists, craft workers and writers, truly inspired by the rugged beauty of the landscape, have made Allihies their home.
