A former health centre in Omagh has been given a fresh lease of life, transformed into a bright new £6m Digi-Hub on the Old Mountfield Road. Opened earlier this month, the space already houses 20 small businesses, with room for 50 in total. It’s a hopeful moment for the town, with plans to turn more vacant sites into places where local people can work, create and grow new ideas. A real boost for the community’s future.

Get into the festive spirit at the Mountain View Christmas Night Market, an event filled with joy, delicious food, live music and unique gifts for everyone on your list. With over 150 traders, this is one of Ireland’s largest Christmas markets and the perfect chance to support local businesses and embrace the season’s magic. This dog-friendly event takes place on Saturday 20 December at Mountain View, Ballyhale, Co Kilkenny. No ticket or pre-booking needed, the only cost is a €3 parking fee, per car.
A lovely festive treat arrives this year with Nollaí, the first animated Christmas film co-produced by TG4, BBC Northern Ireland and S4C. The story follows a gentle deer on a journey to uncover his origins, blending warmth, adventure and a touch of Irish folklore. It’s a joyous collaboration across three nations. Nollaí airs on at 5.50pm on 14 December on TG4, Cúla4, BBC Two NI and S4C, and will be on BBC iPlayer from the same date.
