Downtown Portlaoise is holding its annual Table Quiz tonight, Thursday, November 3 at 8.30 pm in Kavanagh's Pub to fundraise for the Portlaoise Christmas Lights and Portlaoise Christmas Market.
Downtown hopes you can get a team together and come along for a night of fun and amazing spot prizes, all kindly donated by our own Downtown members.
A table of 4 is €40, but feel free to come along even if you don't have a full team as there will always be spaces at other tables.
Downtown Portlaoise Christmas Market takes place on Sunday, November 27 11am-7pm. More than 40 stalls.
Santa to switch on lights at 4.30pm. Market concludes at 7pm. Sure to be a great day.
