At Lanesboro Library · Lanesborough, Co. Longford
Lanesboro Library runs a four-week mother and baby reflexology course on consecutive Wednesday mornings through September 2026, meeting on the 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th from 11am to 12pm each week. The library’s events calendar lists it as free, with registration taken at the venue rather than online, so the branch itself is the point of contact for a place.
Baby reflexology courses teach parents a set of gentle foot and hand techniques to use with their own child at home, and the four-week structure lets the group build from basics to a full routine rather than cramming it into a single session. Parents bring their baby and work on them directly during the class under the instructor’s guidance. Beyond the technique, courses of this kind function as a weekly meeting point for new parents in a small town, which matters in a place the size of Lanesborough where there is no dedicated parent and baby centre. It follows a busy August at the same branch, which hosted a harp and storytelling session, a local history walking tour and a family film afternoon, and it is the branch’s main autumn strand for families with very young children.
Lanesborough is on the east bank of the River Shannon at the head of Lough Ree, roughly fifteen minutes south-west of Longford town on the R392, and connects to Ballyleague in Co. Roscommon over the bridge. The library is in the village centre with parking nearby, and access is level from the street.
