Twelve grants have been allocated to a range of community groups, organisations and individuals in Waterford City and County. Successful applicants to the Creative Waterford Open Call 2022 scheme were notified of funding allocations in late March.

Katherine Collins, Creative Waterford Coordinator said “Communities and individuals are invited to see themselves as co-creators of their own cultural and creative experiences and to mobilise communities of interest. Creative Waterford encourages new, ambitious, and meaningful collaborations between people and communities, and professionals such as artists, archaeologists, historians, archivists and everyone else involved in the culture and creative sectors within Waterford. We are delighted to work with these projects and are excited to see how they develop during the year.”

Grants were awarded to:

  • Caoilfhionn Hanton, An Intersectional Waterford: €3,000.00
  • Walton Institute, WIT, Re-Fashioning the Future: €5,000
  • Calmast, Ballybricken Spoken Word Project: €6,000
  • Garter Lane Art Centre, The Voice of Young People (Working Title): €7,250
  • Mercy School, Healing Arts Week 2022: €5,000
  • Waterford Film Centre, Community film projects : ‘Imbolg’ and ‘The Check Out Girl’: €7,250
  • Waterford Pride, Pride of the Déise Festival 2022: €3,500

  • Jenny Fennessy, Acting workshops with amateur drama groups in Waterford City and County: €4,000.00
  • Market House Craftworks, Cappoquin “New Reality” A Festival of Contemporary Collage in Ireland: €3,000.00

Visual artist, Caoilfhoinn Hanton said “An Intersectional Waterford is the kind of project I have wanted to materialise for many years now. Being a young adult currently studying visual art but having began my professional practice and been mentored by Dublin artists since I was 16, I feel I can still relate to the younger generation but am more equipped now to deliver such a project.”

Jenny Fennessy said “We will deliver acting workshops to amateur drama groups in Waterford City and County. We will teach a wide variety of acting skills and techniques and participants will work on a great range of texts to practice their new skills. By the end of the workshop, we would hope the members feel empowered to take on characters and parts in plays in a more skilful way. Our aim is that these skills will be passed from us to them and from them to future members of the drama group.”

According to Aileen Drohan, “Re-Fashioning the Future brings together a community of traditional textile craft practitioners with technical driven experts from Walton Institute’s new E-Textiles Lab. Through peer-to-peer knowledge sharing workshops, the group will actively

engage in a collaborative exploration and investigation of electronic textiles, carried out utilising a sewable range of electronic components, conductive fabrics, and threads.

In keeping alive the old traditional craft methods, all the while embracing new methods of e-textile making for smart textiles, the workshop participants will extend their newly acquired skills through an additional series of workshops to wider community groups. Re-Fashioning the Future’ aims to foster a network of e-textile practitioners and provide over 100 traditional craft/textile makers with the technical skills and know-how to embed electronic circuitry in textiles for creative outputs with added functionality.”

Foolhardy Festival: a new-wave Comedy Festival for Waterford City

April Fools Day? Just perfect for the foolhardy amongst us!

Waterford City and County Council’s Art Office is bringing a brand new subversive and scandalous festival of fun to Waterford on the April Fools Day Weekend.

Working with Comedy Festival Curator MJ Stokes and Waterford’s own legend Sean Murphy – the Foolhardy Festival of Comedy and Commedia will have you giggling, laughing, learning, diversing, creating, dreaming, making, frivoling and participating in a weekend of mirthful mayhem with many of the events taking place in the Canvas Comedy Central (marquee) on O’Connell Street.

Highlights include: Julie Jay, Sean Marshal, Aliminium – Tim’s Laughter Refinery, ‘Suicide Bees’, ‘Hysteria’ and ‘Token Straight’. There is also an examination of some of the historical contexts to current frivolity with talks on Commedia, family workshops exploring Punch and Judy, Badge making, Mask painting, a workshop strictly for adults on Commedia dell’arte Mask making, and even a session for kids with the grand title of ‘Picasso, Cubism and a Pig!’

For comedians there are professional talks: An introduction to social media and an introduction to comedy safety. There is even a Green room for them, as well as the technicians, producers and volunteers.

And if you thought that Foolhardy Festival of Comedy and Commedia was ignoring the allure of the City’s own peculiar brand of humour – you would be wrong. Amongst others we will have Steven Stubs hosting one of his infamous live quizzes (which also be live-streamed), there will be Open Mic sessions and also one of the country’s most cynical and divisive populists is threatening to cast his beady eye over the events in Waterford’s Cultural Quarter over the weekend, Cosmic and Comedy Vinyl on Friday and Saturday as well as music, food and beer.

The Foolhardy Festival of Comedy and Commedia takes place on the evening of April 1st in the Waterford Cultural Quarter and runs through to Sunday Lunchtime.

Festival curator MJ Stokes describing the reasoning behind the new festival said the past two years has breathed a new emphasis and focus to stand-up and comedy as well as renewing a vista on society. “Its time to lose the nickel in the mirror and lookout at the world for all it is. We have been through a miserable spell but now it’s time to get out and laugh!”

The Foolhardy Festival of Comedy and Commedia in Waterford is aided by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media through its LLPPS3 programme.

Tree planting to mark National Tree Week 2022

National Tree Week 2022 was marked with a tree planting in the Six Acres park in Farronshoneen by the Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. Joe Kelly.

This year the National Tree Week theme was ‘More Forests for a Greener Future’, which aims to highlight the many benefits of forests for Ireland’s climate and biodiversity agendas, for green recreation spaces and for sustainably grown wood.

A number of native species such as Ash, Beech, Rohan, Birch, Oak and Alder were supplied to Waterford City and County Council by the Tree Council of Ireland and these saplings were distributed to schools across County Waterford.

Each year National Tree Week sees events organised across the country celebrating all things trees, from the more hands-on community tree planting experiences to taking some time out to learn more about trees. National Tree Week is an ideal time to learn more about the important role trees play in helping to stop climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.

Mayor of Waterford City & County Council Councillor Joe Kelly explained, “I’m delighted to take part in this tree planting. Trees are such an important resource in tackling climate change. National Tree Week is all about communities coming together to celebrate trees and it’s great that people can once again get together to plant trees and celebrate all the many benefits trees that have to offer.”

Waterford St. Patrick’s Day festival attracts record crowds

The return of the first St. Patrick’s Day Parade to Waterford since 2019 saw record crowds in attendance on March 17th. The spectacular Parade was the main event for the inaugural three-day Waterford St. Patricks Festival which generated a real carnival atmosphere throughout the City Centre.

With a total of over 70 contributors, including Spraoi, drama societies, community groups, sports clubs, youth groups and more, the organisers say they were delighted to see the number of diverse groups taking part.

Johnny Codd, Festival Director from Waterford City & County Council, explained that “We only had a few months to prepare for St. Patricks Day, and we honestly didn’t know what to expect, given that it takes time to design & create a parade entry. We were blown away by the enthusiasm of the participants and by the standard of entries”.

The parade also included the Waterford-Ukrainian community who received a warm welcome and great applause from the crowds.

After the parade spectacle, the crowds dispersed from the parade route and into John Roberts Square and the Cultural Quarter where music, song & dance entertained the large numbers of festival-goers in the City Centre.

Anna Jordan was involved in organising the entertainment in the City Centre and she commented that “the atmosphere in John Roberts Square was just wonderful. The sun even popped out to greet us, and the bands attracted crowds who sang, danced and laughed and the whole weekend was the celebration that we all craved after the two year hiatus”.

Mayor of Waterford City & County, Cllr. Joe Kelly highlighted the great atmosphere in the City, by saying that “I was honoured to be Mayor at the return of the St. Patricks Day parade, and to witness the coming together of Waterford people from all sections of society. I also welcome the introduction of the three-day festival, as it definitely added to the occasion. It was wonderful to see people enjoying the activities and the music in the City Centre, at the heart of Ireland’s Best Place to Live”.

Waterford’s St. Patricks Day Festival took place from Thursday March 17th to Sunday 20th and included a Jazz concert, an Open-mic Comedy night, musical performances across the 4 days, fairground attractions and a spectacular fireworks display.

Let Dandelions Bee!

Let Dandelions Bee! is a campaign to let dandelions bloom for a short few weeks to help feed bees this Spring. They are our wild bees’ most favourite food. Help halt the bee decline by simply leaving dandelions to grow in your garden this March and April.

The best way to help our bees this year is to do nothing!

If you have grass or lawn at home, give the mower a rest for 2 or 3 weeks while the first flush of dandelions come into bloom, usually in March or early April. For more information, see www.letdandelionsbee.ie or https://pollinators.ie/resources

Sun shines for warm Royal welcome in the Déise

Arriving under blue skies and warm sunshine, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall arrived in Waterford City to a warm Déise welcome.

The royal couple were greeted upon arrival at Reginald’s Tower by the Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. Joe Kelly, Mary Butler TD, Minster for Older People and Mental Health, Michael Walsh, Chief Executive of Waterford City and County Council, and Director of Waterford Treasures, Eamonn McEneaney.

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla commenced their walk through Bailey’s New Street at the base of Reginald’s Tower, Waterford’s landmark monument and Ireland’s oldest civic building.

A performance by Waterford’s Viking Re-enactment group was set against the backdrop of the Viking Longboat, proudly emblazoned with ‘Verdrafjordr’ (Waterford’s Viking derived place name).

As Their Royal Highnesses continued their walkabout, they paused at the world’s longest wooden sword sculpture at 23 metres, crafted by local wood sculptor, John Hayes. The ‘Dragon Slayer’ sword is perfectly housed in the heart of the Viking Triangle and in the shadow of the 13th century Franciscan Friary, which was founded by King Henry III in 1394.  In 1399, King Richard II held court here and it was closed by Henry VIII in 1536 and made into the Holy Ghost Hospital by charter.

Continuing their walkabout The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall enjoyed a lively performance from award-winning street art company, Spraoi.  The Royal visitors were treated to the musical talents of the Mount Sion Choir.  The choir is part of Foróige, Ireland’s leading youth organisation which celebrates diversity through music.

They met with artist James Kirwan, a visual artist and part of the Waterford Walls project, a creative arts agency regenerating urban spaces and excelling in the delivery of large scale artwork across Ireland and Europe.

On their walkabout in Waterford, TRHs The Prince of Wales & The Duchess of Cornwall met with Emergency First Responders and Front Line Workers and spoke with them about their first hand experiences of serving the people of Waterford during  the COVID-19 pandemic.  They also met and spoke with some of the large crowd who came to greet the Royal couple in Cathedral Square.

Before learning of Waterford’s history at the Medieval Museum, the Royal couple heard from local people about how they are securing their future.  They met with members of ACT Waterford, an initiative which engages communities in creative solutions to climate change.

The couple then visited Waterford’s Medieval Museum.  There, they learned about Waterford’s rich history as Director of Waterford Treasures, Eamonn McEneaney showed them The Great Charter Roll of Waterford, made in Waterford in 1373, it is regarded as one of the great treasures of medieval Ireland because of the number and quality of the illustrations.

They were also shown King Henry VIII’s Cap of Maintenance, which was a gift to the Mayor of Waterford from King Henry VIII in 1536. This gift was a significant mark of royal approval and is the only piece of Henry VIII’s wardrobe to survive anywhere in the world.  They also saw the Sword of King Henry VIII.  This civic sword was sent to the Mayor of Waterford by King Henry VIII in 1536.  On official occasions it was carried in procession in front of the mayor. The sword symbolised the fact that the mayor’s authority within the city came directly from the king.

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall continued to the Large Room at City Hall for a Mayoral Welcome.  They met and spoke with a diverse range of groups representing Waterford’s wide and far-reaching achievements in entertainment, integration, community, sport, arts and enterprise and spoke with members of the Ukrainian community in Waterford.

Mayor of Waterford City and County Council, Cllr. Joe Kelly, warmly welcomed the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to Waterford.

“Our connections run deep, our connections span generations and our connections have shaped us.  And today we are honouring one of our most enduring and long-standing relationships with our closest friend and neighbour, the United Kingdom.

As Mayor of Waterford City and County it is my privilege to welcome the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to Waterford, Ireland’s Oldest City.”

He continued,  “While Waterford is a city of firsts, moreover it is shaped by the people who live here, work here, raise their families here and call Waterford home.  Our culture, our community and our connectedness burn bright and today we are surrounded by those who have shaped our community, enhanced our culture and fortified our connections throughout the world.”

Addressing the invited guests, The Prince of Wales said, “To be welcomed so warmly, not least by a Viking re-enactment, is a wonderful blessing and one that will certainly live long in our memory.  It is in places such as Waterford, Ireland’s Oldest City, where we are reminded so vividly of our ancient connections and how they have evolved over time toward a modern friendship.”

“From a Viking town to a city with a Royal charter, the place where the first Irish tricolour was flown, to the home of a new university and acclaimed best place to live in Ireland, Waterford is a city of promise and hope for the future.”

TRH The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were presented with a signed copy of “The Royal Charter of Waterford” by Julian Walton and a copy of “The History of Waterford and its Mayors”, published by Waterford Council and edited by Eamonn McEneaney.

The royal couple then signed the Mayor’s Visitors book in the Mayor’s Parlour and left City Hall to continue their Waterford visit with a tour of the House of Waterford Crystal, GIY, Fitzgerald’s Farm and home of Cheltenham Gold Cup Winner, Henry de Bromhead’s yard in Co. Waterford.

Waterford Greenway celebrates fifth birthday

Photo by Colin Shanahan – DigiCol Photography (c) 2021 – http://www.digicolphotography.com

It’s hard to believe that the much-loved Waterford Greenway has been open just five years, yet many locals will find it hard to imagine life without this award-winning trail on their doorstep. The Waterford Greenway stretches from Ireland’s Oldest City in the East of the County, through the picturesque village of Kilmacthomas to the harbour town of Dungarvan in West Waterford. Freedom, fresh-air, magnificent scenery and chance encounters are some of the highlights often mentioned by visitors to this spectacular trail in Ireland’s Ancient East.

Waterford Greenway was officially opened on March 25th 2017 by Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Simon Coveney TD on the 50th anniversary of the last passenger train journey between Dungarvan and Waterford City. Since opening, the Waterford Greenway has attracted over 250,000 visits annually, resulting in the development of many tourism and hospitality businesses.

In five short years the Waterford Greenway has won the hearts of locals and visitors alike and celebrated a number of accolades which include; being the first Irish Greenway to receive the Green Flag Award for Parks and Green Spaces in 2020 and retain it in 2021, winning silver in the Excellence Category at the 10th European Greenways Award in 2021, and most recently being named Best Visitor Attraction in the Irish Independent 2022 Reader Travel Awards.

The captivating trail offers spectacular views of the Comeragh Mountains, the River Suir and the Waterford coast as you freewheel your way from the City to the sea, through tunnels, across viaducts and past old railway stations. Attractions along the dedicated cycling and walking trail include, with the world-renowned ornamental gardens at Mount Congreve, Waterford Suir Valley Railway, and the Copper Coast UNESCO Global Geopark. The many vibrant coffee stops along the route will give you a flavour of the fantastic food and coffee scene in Waterford, where you can relax with an old friend or a new one!

Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. Joe Kelly said “Happy fifth birthday to a much-loved amenity here in Waterford and the South East. Waterford Greenway is a visitor attraction that has grown and developed due to the dedication, vision and commitment of Waterford City and County Council, the local communities, businesses and stakeholders. The enjoyment this visionary project brings to so many of all ages and abilities is just amazing.”

Michael Walsh, Chief Executive, Waterford City and County Council added, “Waterford Greenway has been transformative for the county. Businesses have been built, visitors have come time and again and of course locals have the huge benefit of having this world class amenity on their doorstep.”

The Waterford Greenway can only get better as work is already underway to improve the Greenway connection to the city centre and are due for completion in 2023. Works are progressing very well on the New Ross Greenway, with the new sustainable transport bridge in the City allowing visitors to continue their Greenway journey from Waterford through parts of Kilkenny and Wexford.

Feasibility studies for a connection between Waterford City and Tramore, Dungarvan and Mallow and a Waterford Greenway to Suir Blueway connection are all underway and will undoubtedly bring more opportunities to locals and visitors to get out and enjoy the fantastic sights in Waterford and the South East.

You can follow Waterford Greenway on Facebook or Instagram for all the latest on what’s happening and share your memories (old and new) to help us celebrate five great years of the Waterford Greenway using the hashtags #HappyBirthday #WaterfordGreenway
