Five things to see and do in West Cork this weekend

As the country winds down from a busy St Patrick's weekend, West Cork still has a fantastic offering of events for you to choose from this weekend.

This weekend's events include Daffodil Day fundraisers, a jersey day, a Joni Mitchell tribute act, Tony Cantwell's comedy show and an afternoon of ancient storytelling.

Daffodil Day - Friday March 20th

Every year on Daffodil Day, Ireland turns yellow as people stand together against cancer – to bring hope, provide support and drive progress.

Various events across the county have been organised to support the Irish Cancer Society, including a community walk in Bandon, an appearance from Majella O'Donnell in Clonakilty and a coffee morning in Timoleague.

Jersey Day for Féile - Friday March 20th

More than 100 schools across Cork and Kerry have pledged to bring colour to the classroom this Friday as part of the ‘Stand 4 Féíle’ Jersey Day.

The event is being co-ordinated by a voluntary group of former Cork and Kerry GAA players, and the call to action invites students, teachers, staff, and the wider community to wear their favourite jersey and make a small donation to support the ‘Stand 4 Féile’ fundraising initiative.

This Flight Tonight - Friday March 20th

This Flight Tonight – The Songs of Joni Mitchell arrives at Kinsale Hotel & Spa on Friday, March 20, bringing with it an intimate and richly textured celebration of one of the most influential songwriters of the modern era.
Presented by Welsh duo Paul Zervas and Kathryn Pepper, alongside their five-piece band, the production draws deeply from Mitchell’s celebrated Reprise/Asylum years between 1968 and 1976.

The show starts at 8pm and tickets are available here.

Tony Cantwell at De Barra's - Friday March 20th

Comedian Tony Cantwell brings his show 'You Cry Weird' to De Barra's in Clonakilty this Friday March 20th at 8.30pm.

The star of Last One Laughing (Amazon), Good Boy (RTÉ) and co-host of the Young Hot Guys podcast is sure to provide a hilarious evening of entertainment.

Tickets are €28.00 and are available here.
