Cork's Urban October: Nordic walking, chalk drawing — celebrate city life

Chalk it down — Cork’s city streets are set to come alive next month thanks to a series of free and quirky events to celebrate city life.

You can take part in chalk drawing workshops on Emmet Place, enjoy a currach concert on the river Lee, try out some Nordic walking up St Patrick’s Hill, or sample the delights of a night market during the Urban October initiative which hopes to encourage citizens of the People’s Republic to look at their city anew.
