The Red Fox Inn annual charity walk to St Finian’s Holy Well in Glenbeigh is set to take place this Easter Monday.

This is the sixth year of the walk, which has already raised over €18,000 for local charities, and this year’s money will be donated to Cromane Community Preschool.

The walk takes in an 8km looped route from the Red Fox Inn to St Finian’s Well, where there will be a special Mass, before returning to the Red Fox for refreshments and live entertainment with Celtic Steps. Bus transport will be in place for anyone who wishes to attend the Mass but are unable to partake in the 8km walk.

Entry costs €20 per family, €10 per adult and €5 per child. Registration for the walk takes place at the Red Fox from 11am, and all are welcome.

Cromane Community Preschool is a charitable and not-for-profit service that provides affordable quality preschool and afterschool services for the families living in Cromane and its surrounds. The school will soon move to its new state-of-the-art facility in upper Cromane.

“We are very grateful to be chosen as the beneficiaries of this year’s Holy Well Walk,” Mary Counihan, Chairperson of Cromane Community Preschool, said. “It is a wonderful day out for all the family, and we encourage everyone to come along and support it.”
