Exhibition returns to Wexford

"Sweet Memories, the Story of Urney Chocolates", the exhibition, has returned to it's original host, The Irish Agricultural Museum in Wexford. It was unveiled here for the first time in July 2009 and having visited many of the libraries in South County Dublin over the last two years, it is back for another stint in the sunny south east. So if you missed it first time 'round, now is your chance to catch it. Seven display panels summarize the history of the factory from it's inception to it's closure, capturing the highs and lows of over 50 years making chocolate. The book is also available for sale at the museum, which is a fascinating place and well worth a visit if you haven't already been. The museum is set in the picturesque grounds of Johnstown Castle, another great reason to drop by.

Now available in The Book Centre, Wexford

If you go into The Book Centre in Wexford town you will now find Sweet Memories, the Story of Urney Chocolates on their 'Local Interest' shelves. I am delighted to say that the shop have kindly agreed to stock the book where it retails at the same price of €15. The Book Centre have always supported local authors and Wexford certainly has more than it's fair share of literary talent. There is an impressive range of local interest/history books on display in the shop. I always find great gifts here for relatives living abroad. So if happen to be on the Main Street in Wexford, do pop in. Customers are encouraged not just to browse but to make themselves at home; to sit and read, enjoy a coffee and biscuit in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
