Carlow Town has added another impressive accolade to its name, winning a gold medal at the prestigious Entente Florale Europe Awards held in Hungary. In addition to the gold, Carlow was honoured with the President’s Award and the Special Characteristic Prize, celebrating the town’s dedication to community, sustainability, and beauty. This recognition is a testament to the collective efforts of local organisations, volunteers, and residents who worked tirelessly to achieve this incredible result.
The Entente Florale judges visited Carlow on 12th July, touring key spots such as St Mary’s Church, Carlow Fire Station, Hanover Park, and Delta Sensory Gardens. Carlow Sports Partnership also played an active role, joining forces with Bosom Buddies, Hen Forge, The Men’s Shed, and Forever Fit to demonstrate kettlebell exercises and activator pole walking.
This international recognition shines a spotlight on Carlow’s vibrant community spirit and ongoing commitment to enhancing public spaces and quality of life.
