Local competition to mark the Tipperary Fleadh in Roscrea


Tipperary's County Fleadh Cheoil will take place from May 10th to 17th in Roscrea
The Tipperary Fleadh will be held in Roscrea this year and the local Credit Union are holding a unique competition to mark the event.
Premier Credit Union invites local businesses in Roscrea to participate in a vibrant new Shop Window Display Competition as part of its sponsorship of the Fleadh Cheoil Thiobraid Árann in Roscrea.
With a total prize fund of €500, the competition aims to bring colour, creativity, and community spirit to the town in celebration of one of Ireland’s most cherished cultural events.
First prize of €300 will be awarded, along with two runner-up prizes of €100 each.
The competition is open to all businesses in Roscrea, and participation is simple: no entry form is required. Businesses are encouraged to decorate their shop windows with a Fleadh-inspired theme to help create a festive atmosphere throughout the town.
Judging will take place on Thursday, May 14, 2026, when adjudicators will visit participating premises and select the winning displays.
Brian King, CEO of Premier Credit Union, said:
“We are proud to support the Fleadh Cheoil Thiobraid Árann and to celebrate our community’s rich musical and cultural heritage. This competition is a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to showcase their creativity and help create a welcoming, festive environment for visitors and residents alike.
"At Premier Credit Union, community is at the heart of everything we do. We look forward to seeing Roscrea come alive with colour, music, and imagination in the lead-up to this wonderful event.”
Premier Credit Union, as the main sponsor of the Fleadh, hopes the initiative will encourage widespread participation and enhance the overall experience of the festival across the town.
