Bid for ‘Late Night Lattes’
Efforts are underway in nine towns and cities across the country to encourage a late-night café culture.
The pilot initiative called “Café Lates” aims to diversify nightlife by expanding evening options and offering “an enhanced experience” to locals.
Night-time economy advisors from the nine pilot locations of Dublin city, Cork city, Limerick city, Galway city, Kilkenny, Drogheda, Sligo, Buncrana and Longford town came up with the idea to develop and foster a late night café culture. Events have included live music and poetry reading.
The “Café Lates” initiative directly addresses feedback received during public consultation for the development of a café culture as part of the Longford County Council Night-Time Economy Action Plan.
It is funded by Longford County Council and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
