The recently restored music room of a Monaghan town country estate is set to host a special fundraising event this weekend.
The Old Monaghan Society has organised the event in Bessmount House to hear a presentation from local poet and novelist Mary O'Donnell.
Bessmount House has been described as a "hidden gem" on the outskirts of Monaghan town, and the event is being organised in aid of local charities SOSAD and LA519.
Current guardian of Bessmount House, Daisy Montgomery says the family is looking forward to welcoming guests.
