Winterlee’ is coming to SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh this festive season

As the popular Alpine Skate Trail moves to SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh this winter, there’s been an even bigger announcement made today.

‘Winterlee’, a new immersive winter wonderland experience, is coming to Cork City.

The Christmas market will feature various wooden chalets offering festive food and drinks, local craft stalls, a funfair, and, of course, Cork’s favourite ice skating experience, Alpine Skate Trail!

Three homegrown Cork businesses – Cool Running Events, SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Brook Foods – have teamed up, combining the thrill of a skate trail, a bustling winter village and a vibrant funfair to create Winterlee.

Bill Cremin, Managing Director of Cool Running Events said: “We couldn’t be happier with our new home at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

“At Cool Running Events, we like to bring the unimaginable to life and we certainly feel like we’re doing that by opening the world’s first ice skating trail in a stadium concourse.

“After serving the people of Cork since 2007 with Cork On Ice, before moving to Fota House for a few years, we knew our return to the city would need to be spectacular, and that’s what Winterlee will be.

“We’re delighted to team up with SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Brook Foods for the most unique Winter experience in Cork City, and one we’ll remember for a long, long time.”

Kevin O’Donovan, CEO of Cork GAA & SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, added: “We are excited to see our stadium continue to evolve, offering a unique experience for the Cork public and beyond.

” I am delighted to welcome Bill and the team at Cool Running Events, we believe this will be the first skate through an international stadium.

“Together with our catering partners, Brook Foods, we will provide yet another opportunity for people to gather in Cork City and experience our venue on a whole new level.”

Alpine Skate Trail will officially open its doors on 8th November, along with Winterlee, and will run through to 19th January, offering a fun-filled winter experience for families, friends, teams, clubs, schools, and corporate groups.

Kieran Callinan, Managing Director of Brook Foods operating the market, food and drinks offerings and funfair, said: “Brook Foods are excited to partner with SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Cool Running Events in creating Winterlee, a transformational Winter experience designed to appeal to everyone of all ages that are out to enjoy themselves for the festive period- it will be a must visit destination in Cork City.”

To celebrate the announcement of Winterlee, Alpine Skate Trail is offering limited Early Bird ice skating tickets at a discounted price at iceskating.ie.

McCarthy Insurance Group Premier Senior Football round 3 championship fraught with jeopardy;

With Castlehaven the only club sure of progress to the knockout stages, Sunday’s final set of group fixtures in the McCarthy Insurance Group Premier SFC will be fraught with jeopardy.

The six games take place at 4pm, with the Haven guaranteed top spot in Group 2 after wins over Clonakilty and St Michael’s. Seánie Cahalane’s side take on Castlehaven in a West Cork derby in Leap and will looking for a third victory to secure a route straight to the semi-finals.

Their Rosscarbery opponents could still qualify with a win, but would also need Clonakilty to beat St Michael’s in Bandon – and not by so much that they would move above Ross on scoring difference.

If the Haven win or draw, then the Clon-Michael’s clash will decide second place – Michael’s are on two points with Clon on one, so a draw would suffice for the city side.

Should Newcestown not win, then Ballincollig would take second with the avoidance of a draw against neighbours Éire Óg in Kilmurry. However, if the Ovens side were to triumph then there could be a three-way tie for second – currently, Newcestown have the best scoring difference of that trio.

In Group 3, St Finbarr’s, who are on two points, must beat Valley Rovers (three points) in Coachford in order to progress. Mallow also have three points and face the already-eliminated Douglas but won’t have things all their own way as the city side will be seeking avoid the relegation play-off.

With so much at stake across the six games, all with a 4pm start, the crowds should be swelled at every venue. Advanced ticket sales only from gaacork.ie/tickets  U16’s FREE
