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!

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...

Point Coffee opens this coming Tuesday in QP

Earlier today the new coffee shop in Quigley’s Point welcomed some family and friends for a taster and viewing of the new premises. It was a delight to be part of that taster and welcome. Although very much settled in Muff, I am and will always be a Quigley's Point gal at heart, so this coffee shop is a special one for myself here at Craic On Muff. Point Coffee is due to open its doors to the public on Tuesday 21 st July at 7am. It will allow the village of Quigley’s Point and those passing by to fuel up on coffee at dawn, and be fully awake come the morning rush hour of work, family, and day-to-day life. Being the first coffee shop in Quigley’s Point there is undoubtedly much excitement about this opening. Local business, neighbours and friends all popped in today for a nosey. And no one was disappointed. You will find a lovely seating area within. As all is new it’s got that lovely newness feel to it, and yet the smell of coffee makes it feel homely. You will find...

Christmas Dance at Muff Community Hall with Shunie Crampsey

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...
