Ahakista Festival

01/06/2026

It's that time of year again! Time to gather the family, the tools and the spare parts and get to work on building your water vehicle for this year's Raft Race. If you're feeling a bit at sea about building methods, there are some great YouTube videos available online. We're hoping for a raft of entries to this year's event - on your marks, get set......

Well, that was a night, that was! Huge thanks to the hilarious Barbara Scully who had us all in stitches recounting her granny-knickered adventures. Thanks also to Arundels by the Pier for hosting the event as well as donating to the raffle. And even more thanks to the generous audience who bought raffle tickets galore. The entire proceeds of €1100 go to the Ahakista Community Centre building fund. Now, there's a friend of Ahakista! We should probably award her the freedom to graze her sheep anywhere she wants - if she had sheep.

If you're coming to see Barbara Scully tonight you might want to bring cash for the raffle. All in aid of Ahakista Community Centre Building Fund.

If you need a dig out, just ask a Sea Scout. The Sheep's Head Sea Scouts came to our rescue, big time, yesterday. They raised €1,356.50!!!!!! for the Ahakista Community Centre build with not one but two Cake Sales outside Durrus and Kilcrohane churches. We are beside ourselves with gratitude and admiration.
The iDonate total now stands at €5741.50. If you feel moved to contribute: https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/ACABuildingFund

In a generous display of community support, Sheep's Head Sea Scouts have volunteered to hold a Cake Sale next Sunday after mass in aid of the Ahakista Community Centre Building Fund. Sweet! Please do come - you won't be sorry.

Whether you love Ahakista or have the good sense to live here, or both, please give our new Ahakista Community Association page a 'Follow'. We need to gather you all together to hear news about our new Community Centre build.

Welcome to the new ACA page, on which news of all ACA activities and deliberations will be posted along with community news and events. We are currently working to raise funds to complete Phase 1 of the new community centre building and will bring news shortly of a fundraising appeal that we hope everyone can support. Just follow this page to keep up with, and participate in, developments.

This Sunday, the Foróige members are holding a cake sale to raise funds for Féile O’Sullivan, the teenager from Allihies who suffered life-changing injuries due to a farming accident last year.

You’ll find us in both Durrus and in Kilcrohane, just after mass, this Sunday.

Please support, and please share this message. Thank you.
