Christmas lights 80's 90's disco in a Laois heatwave

Christmas and a heatwave seem more suited to Australia than Ireland, but this weekend in Laois they come together in the form of a hugely fun 80's and 90's music disco.

Mountrath Festival Committee is holding a Christmas Lights disco fundraiser, as they think ahead to raise money for the town's  festive street lights next Christmas.

From mining 'wasteland to paradise' new Laois garden opening to public

Sure to be a night to remember in this heat, the disco takes place in a marquee at Eddie Kirwan's Pub, kicking off at 9pm.

Bar on the night, and tickets are €15, on sale in Spar or Centra or from committee members.
