Delighted that The Knocknarea Arena will once again host Relay For Life Sligo this weekend! 💜✨

Last year’s event was an incredible success, bringing our community together in a truly special way to celebrate, remember and support those affected by cancer.

We can’t wait to build on that success this weekend and help make this year’s Relay For Life Sligo even bigger and better. Together, we can make a difference! 💜
