The official opening of Enable Ireland’s new Castlebar store location will take place next Friday, August 23.

The charity shop has been located on Hopkins Road for 25 years, but has now relocated to a larger premises on Mainstreet which will offer even more of pre-loved, new, and vintage treasures.

The opening event is suitable for all the family and will kick off at 12pm in the new Mainstreet store.

Entertainment for all ages, light refreshments, and VIP guests including Mayo football star Matthew Ruane, is just some of what is to look forward to on the day.

Kids young and old are also invited to have their photo taken with Mickey Mouse, and there will be jellies and bubbles on offer for children. 

A ‘golden ticket’ hunt is taking place during the event too, with an array of prizes to be won which have been generously donated by fellow Castlebar Businesses. 

To top off the afternoon’s entertainment, local musicians, Sean Healy and Friends, will be performing traditional music, and all store visitors will receive a 10 percent discount on any items purchased in the new shop.

100 percent of the profits from the Mainstreet shop support local disability services for children and adults with disabilities.
