Over 250 locals attended the event which boasted a magical festive atmosphere, fabulous Christmas Market, mouthwatering cakes and bakes as well as a live piano recital throughout the event. The Tea Morning is an annual highlight in the area and goes from strength to strength raising much needed funds for commendable efforts of Western Alzheimer’s who provide care and support for people living with Dementia in Galway, Mayo &
