  A day of free creativity for children and young people Ireland is the first, and only , country in the world to have a national day of free creativity for children and young people under 18. Cruinniú na nÓg is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan to enable the creative potential of children and young people.

It was delightful to see a day of creativity...

Edward and Shane Doherty from Tank & Skinny's are not celebrating the 10th birthday of their coffee shop in Muff sitting down. Oh no, they are going to be going off on the Inishowen 100 on their bicycles, and then running, arriving back in our wee village on what will culminate on the opening of Muff Feile 2026, but also their 10th birthday. Rumour has it there will be FREE food and entertainment then too!! Woohoo. As they embark on this journey, it is to not only recognise their 10 years, but to raise money for two very important charities - the LauraLynn Hospice and Friends of Inishowen Hospice Cancer Support.   The lads will be cycling 70 miles, and running 30 miles.

And of course we all want to celebrate the heart of Muff village, that is T&S, on their 10th birthday. If you would like to donate to their chosen charities please do so at: Ed and Shane 100 miles  - ...

Over 60 teams from across N'Ireland and Donegal came to the village. Approximately 600 children played football this weekend on our QPS grounds. And hundreds came to watch and enjoy the festivities on those pitches.  The Muff Feilé committee members and volunteers also worked tirelessly over the two days with ground management, cleaning and general help over the days.  People were able to a...
