Various Locations, Tuesday 6th January
On 6 January each year, women all over Ireland celebrate Nollaig na mBan, also known as ‘Little Christmas’ and ‘Women’s Christmas’. Traditionally, this was a day women downed tools and had a day of rest and pampering after the hard work of Christmas.
The Nollaig na mBan Festival in Dublin’s North Inner City has taken this day to a whole new level. Established by a group of local women from Ballybough, the North Strand and Clonliffe areas, and sponsored by Dublin City Council, NEIC, Dublin Port Company, Inner City Trust and Local Safety Partnership the special day was designed to honour and celebrate local women. To date this festival has a record of attracting top class events, using local venues such as Charleville Mall Library, St. Columba’s Church, Clonliffe House, Cusack’s and Annesley House in North Strand and Ballybough.
