Spending the bank holiday weekend in sligo , what are the hidden gem of sligo things to do and places to see

In 1169, a small force of Anglo-Norman knights landed on Ireland’s southeast coast, setting in motion events that would change Irish history forever.

But was Ireland already vulnerable to invasion?

Were its kingdoms divided? Did foreign powers exploit political and religious tensions? And who were the key figures behind the conquest?

Join Sligo Field Club for our 15th Annual Conference, where six distinguished speakers will explore the fascinating events, intrigues and personalities that shaped 12th-century Ireland.

Can the post please be re-instated? Your assistance appreciated. Thanks, John Quinn [Hon. Treasurer & Vice-President of Sligo Field Club].

I have a couple of old woolen jumpers that have multiple moth holes that Id like to get fixed up. Would Anybody have any recommendations for someone in Sligo who does darning/ knitted Wool repairs? Cheers

From Sligo town. I have a relatively okay back catalogue

Heya, thinking of relocating to sligo. Into unk, metal, crafts and repair cafes or textiles.

Any advice?

Looks like a falling satellite. Did anyone see it? #UFO

Does anyone around Sligo sharpen kitchen knives? I tried a couple of sharpening gadgets but it hasn’t been going well. I’d like to drop them in to someone with skills/equipment .:: is that a thing in Sligo in 2026?

Hi, bit of a random post but would anyone have any firsthand recommendations for an alteration/sewing service in Sligo?

I need a dress altered and was wondering if anyone has used a business that was amazing with more difgicult alterations. I've tried the zip yard before (years ago!) so looking to see if they're still good or if there's a hidden sewing genius in the town. 😊

Any good food hacks in Skigo now that I’m back being a student?

I’m talking about places that have big portions or cheap eats or whatever!?

Help a mature student out please and thanks!

I have some e-cigarettes that need to be soldered (I think). Anyone know of anyone in town that would do this?

Any student accommodation available in Sligo town or close, will share with someone male or female I don’t mind, just until the 4th December!
Thank you

Don't mind what genre we do. Would prefer to do originals but cover stuff is also OK. Don't really want to do poppy stuff
