Functions and Events at IOSAS Centre

 


Situated on the Lenamore Road, Muff, the IOSAS Centre and Celtic Prayer Garden welcomes visitors and tourists on a daily basis (closed Mon and Tues). A welcome haven to go and enjoy some 'time-out' or treat oneself to a lovely lunch, or just coffee and treats at the Sanctuary Cafe there. The Celtic Prayer Garden is both welcoming and peaceful.

But the centre is more than that. It offers conference space and can host business meetings, conferences, workshops and more. All can be accompanied with lunch or snacks. It really does offer a business friendly service.

Recently we had a delightful family celebration there. With a mass in the garden oratory to begin, followed by the most delicious spread of food, soup, hot food, sandwiches, tray bakes (divine they were) and tea/coffee. A party of 60 were welcomed into a very family-friendly environment and a most enjoyable afternoon was had. Many guests on the day had made their maiden trip to the centre and all said they would certainly return. 

The Celtic Garden is primarily a quiet place of prayer and reflection, and honouring the men and women of Ireland's golden Age, it is also a most welcoming space to just visit and unwind from the everyday stresses an strains of life, Take a seat and just admire the natural beauty all around, Browse the garden walk and visit the caves and nooks of Saints and Scholars. It will bring a warmth within regardless of the air around,

Also when here you can visit and purchase from the Organic farm onsite. Or create your weekly order and get your veg box weekly. 


The Sanctuary Cafe is famous for it's 'Fish 'n Chip' Friday and its scrumptious Sunday lunch, it really does have so much more to offer. Business, family, or a solo trip, you will discover more than you bargained for when you visit The IOSAS Centre.

Mura gets ready for retirement!

Image
  In just over one weeks’ time, our village will have another retiree. A retiree who has given so much to Muff. He moved to Muff from neighbouring Fahan in 1989. Although working in the village prior to this, Mura McLaughlin has long since established himself as a permanent fixture, community member and one of the hardest working members of Muff village. Mura was a Customs Man from 1981 through to 1992. He then proceeded on a career with Irish Life. In the early 90’s Mura began volunteering in the village and was always there to lend a hand at the preparation and delivery of festivals and more. And of course you could find him on the dramatic stage too. In 2007 Mura began working with what is now Muff Community Development. And in 2011 he became manager there. Mura has a team of committee members behind him and a team of workers alongside him, but he himself has been instrumental in much of the development that has taken place in our community in the past 25 years. The fabulo...

Christmas Dance at Muff Community Hall with Shunie Crampsey

Image
 There really is something magical watching people dancing. From contemporary songs to the very traditional 'Shoe the Donkey', it was all things dancing this Sunday night. The people of Muff and far beyond showcased true magic on the dancefloor tonight at St. Mary's Hall here in the village.  Shunie Crampsey has been providing the music and song here in the community hall monthly for the past 18+ months. Tonight was the Christmas dance and it showcased the importance of music and dance for the soul. People coming together to sit and listen, to get up and dance, to just talk. And a fabulous supper was enjoyed by all, catered by The Cabin.  Events like this show what community is all about. And the community within the village hall tonight felt very strong and very festive. People came from all over Inishowen and Derry to enjoy the dance. And no doubt will return in the future to do likewise. Huge thanks must go to all the members of Muff hall who work hard behind the scene...

KNEECAP sends video to young Muff bakers

Image
 On Sunday last The Great Muff Bake-Off took place as part of the annual Muff Féile here in the village. The Bake-Off is in memory of a young local chef who sadly passed away, James Rehill. Every year it draws much attention and none more so than this year. One of the organisers remarked on Sunday that it was one of the 'biggest' Bake-Offs to date. There was a children's U10's and U 12's and then Adults. One of the children's entries was a creation by Jenny Rose McLaughlin and friend Alex Marner. There's was a 'Kneecap' cake. Micky Doherty and the judges all agreed it tasted as good as it looked and it proudly took 3rd place. Earlier today KNEECAP saw the video and DJ Provai sent a video message to Jenny Rose. We think he was rather impressed with the cake indeed. Maybe he'll come himself next year and enter the next Bake-Off, or even give us a performance.        You just never know where The Muff Féile will reach.  GMcC
