Spring has officially begun and it is already clear that there is the same, highbrow quality that we always receive here in West Cork this weekend.

From comedy to cooking and pruning, here are five things to do in West Cork this weekend…

Table quiz fundraiser

Ilen Rovers GAA are hosting a table quiz night tomorrow night (Saturday 4th) in the Sibin in Baltimore, if you think you and a team of four are clever enough, the quiz starts at 8.30pm.

Entry costs only 10 euro, and teams of four are required.

Light refreshments will be served and all are welcome.

Comedy in Bantry

Popular comedian Jason Byrne is performing his  show, Unblocked, tomorrow in the Maritime Hotel in Bantry.

Tickets can be found here, however the show should sell out quickly.

The event starts at 8.30pm and with tickets starting at 27 euro, it should be a fantastic and hysterical way to spend your Saturday night.

Apple pruning workshop

Ever wanted to give pruning apple trees a go? Well, this week, a workshop by Centre of Excellence for Climate Change and Sustainability (CECAS) in Myross Wood, Leap (P81Y192) will teach the basics of pruning mature trees to improve the crop and protect the tree's health.

Gardening gloves, secateurs and loppers need to be brought (if you have them!) and suitable outdoor clothes are strongly recommended.

'Come Dine With Me' in Darrara

The event lasts for approximately three hours and will enlighten attendees on vegetarian dishes and culinary skills.
