Callan has changed a lot in the last 10 years. Its the fastest growing town in Kilkenny, (if not Ireland) and you will be able to get most of your major services and supplies. Its only a 10 minute spin from Kilkenny and €25 quid in a taxi coming home at night. You've got a pretty good dynamic going on in the town now in the last couple of years with a lot of clubs and societies to join. New faces too.

are there any clothes shops or boutiques?

Wimbago

Yes, if you're a man

Well perhaps blobbyblob would be so kind to list the clubs etc in callan, Boxing yes, Handball yes, GAA John Lockes yep, are we missing some.
Apart from that it seems women are not catered for clothes wise, much better off going to Kildare Village or Kilkenny.
Callan people are charming and helpful, What with Aldi and Daybreak and not forgetting Supervalu, shopping is a breeze.
It is overall a lovely place to live.

robjones1981

the supervalue is a disaster of a shop though!
aldi and daybreak are v good yeah - the co-op is a handy spot to have close by too

You'd be better off living in Kilkenny or clonmel if you can at all.

Not very helpful in relation to the OPs question, without a good reason?

It had a population of about 6,000 mid 19th century. It was on the Dublin-Cork stage coach route. Then the railway bypassed it.

I'm actually looking for somewhere small so Callan sounds ideal with the supermarkets & Co op. After living in London for 18 years looking forward to a quite life

You won't get much quieter than Callan. Lovely place to live.

Callan is a nice spot alright, not to far from Clonmel or Kilkenny and the roads aren't that bad.

Is there a community hall or somewhere that can be rented?

Threadhead

There's the Friary Hall which can be rented. It's usually very busy. It's a great spot though and right in the centre of town.

There's the Friary Hall in Mill Street which can be rented as already mentioned, there's also the Parish Hall near the Gardai station.

From what I've heard the Parish Hall is steeper to rent and not as easy to rent,

joegdoyle

Roughly how much to rent them?
