Chamber of Commerce festive fun programme
The Tipperary Chamber of Commerce’s message for this Christmas is: “Let’s have a great Christmas in Tipperary Town.”
There will be free ‘off-street’ parking in town every Saturday in December and all of the weeks up to Christmas Eve, but remember, you must be legally parked. TIRD/Chamber of Commerce would like to acknowledge Tipperary Town Council’s support.
