With a central location on the Muckross Road, access to high quality unique exhibitors and bustling festive atmosphere, it’s sure to be one of the must attend events on the Christmas in Killarney calendar for 2022.

A festive inspired weekend is planned and includes the best of locally produced and sustainable gifts, homeware and giftable foods.

As well as complimentary entry for all, shoppers will also enjoy free mulled wine on arrival, soak up the festive spirit amid the crackling log fires and wander at ease through the exhibitor stands.

The Christmas Gift Fair at Randles Hotel will run over the weekend of Saturday December 17 and Sunday 18 inclusive from 1pm - 6pm each day with 20 stalls ranging from Christmas decorations to jewellery, festive food and hampers to stunning prints, candles, ceramics and much more. A great event to include on your Christmas shopping list, while supporting local artisans.

“The fair will allow shoppers to browse some wonderful stalls all under one roof," Tom Randles, owner of Randles Hotel, said.

"With something for everyone, we will help get your Christmas shopping off to a great start (or finish if you are ultra-organised!). There are makers, creators, bakers and much more. All are small local independent businesses that would really love your support this Christmas. So bring the whole family for a unique shopping experience.”

Kerry Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) has issued a warm weather warning for anyone climbing in the region after being called to assist a walker on Sunday.

The rescue team was tasked to the Devil’s Ladder area of Carrauntoohil (Corrán Tuathail) to help a climber experiencing severe exhaustion and dehydration. Volunteers successfully assisted the walker down to an awaiting vehicle.
With the current heatwave continuing, KMRT is reminding all hillwalkers to prepare adequately before setting out.
The team recommends carrying at least one extra litre of water, wearing sunscreen, and using a peaked or wide-brimmed hat. Walkers should set out early in the morning to ensure they are off the mountains before the peak heat builds in the middle of the day.
KMRT also advises walkers to consider changing their plans to less strenuous routes or rescheduling their climbs entirely until temperatures drop.

The Fossa Climate Action Group will host its annual Summer Guided Walk in the Kerry Biosphere Reserve on Saturday July 18.

The event is scheduled to begin at 10:30am and will be led by staff from the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS).
Diarmaid Griffin of the Fossa Climate Action Group said that the recent sunny weather has energised the local environment, making it an ideal time to observe local wildlife in abundance.
“In Killarney, we are fortunate to live within an UNESCO Biosphere, which is a specially designated area of natural and cultural heritage with worldwide renown,” Griffin said.
He added that there are only 784 Biospheres globally, with just two located in Ireland.
Following a review in 2017, the Kerry Biosphere Reserve was expanded beyond Killarney National Park. It now extends west to Lough Acoose to include the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, north to Fossa and Kilcummin, and east to the Paps mountains.
Griffin encouraged the public to participate to experience the health benefits of spending time outdoors. “Study after study proves that connection with nature boosts your immunity, reduces stress and anxiety, and improves sleep,” he said.
The event is free to attend, but booking is required. Members of the public can make enquiries or book a place by calling or texting Paul O’Raw on 0872317204.
