Mallow Home and Garden festival, first launched in 1999, is one of the longest running events of its type in Ireland and offers visitors a blend of home and garden inspiration, food and entertainment.
Listowel’s history dates back to at least 1303 when it first appears in the Plea Roll. Fortress to the Fitzmaurice family, the town developed around Listowel Castle and its square. The last bastion against Queen Elizabeth I in the Desmond campaign, Listowel Castle was built in the 15th century and was the last fortress of the Geraldines to be subdued.
