A lifeline for Annacarty Tea Rooms

Annacarty Tea Rooms is a remarkable Social Enterprise which was set up in the quiet rural village in west Tipperary in November 2015 in response to the closure of most other services in the village. The local and wider community have embraced this excellent facility and enjoy the quality service provided by the tearooms in comfortable surroundings where people can meet, eat and socialise.

South Tipperary Development has been supporting this venture since its inception. Currently STDC has two Rural Social Scheme participants Paula and Patricia working in the Tea Rooms. Their work is essential to the continued success of the business. Paula loves the atmosphere and enjoys being able to reconnect with people after being at home for many years rearing her children. Patricia loves the social interaction and being able to get out and work in her community.
