Details of the 2021 Copper Coast Festival
Weekend 5th/6th June

The 2021 Copper Coast Festival, like many things, will see a change in direction with a more down to earth reduced schedule. The theme for the Copper Coast UNESCO Global Geopark Festival is growing and the ground beneath our feet.
This June 5th and 6th join us and discover the link between geology and the soil, and with a nod to the UN2030 agenda, how we can help to get the Copper Coast growing.

The Edith Collier's Bunmahon Heritage Society were very happy to support the er****on of the memorial to the late Mary Galvin in Bunmahon. Mary was instrumental in forging a lasting connection between Bunmahon and Whanganui in New Zealand where Edith was born. The link between the Edith Collier's Bunmahon Heritage Society and the Edith Collier Trust remains strong to this day.
Thank you to Bonmahon Tidy Town and Bonmahon Joinery for making this happen; it is a fitting reminder of a wonderful lady and friend.
RIP Mary Galvin.

A happy memory
