The Manor Kilbride Coffee & Tea Shop is now open…weekends including bank holidays, match days and Juvenile training on Monday and Wednesday’s from 6.30 to 8PM.

ALL VERY WELCOME

(We are looking for volunteers if anyone is interested in helping out, email: info@kilbridegaa.com or call/text: 0863113443)

But what a journey this unit has had from delivery to now…three years in the making.  And I would personally like to congratulate all involved, in building a world class shop from scratch…amazing.  And all documented from beginning to end.

Thanks to Michele and John Jones who donated the Kitchen Units and also to Noel & Ciara Nolan of Nolan Home Improvements…who purchased the table tops and to Peter Doyle who kindly sponsored the floor vinyl.

All the labour was donated free of charge, incredible.
