Mullagh Development
There are about 12 members in this group and it is divided into 2 groups.One group applies for and looks after any Grants which might enhance the Parish and the other group runs the local Lotto. This provides the necessary funds to pay for the upkeep of the multi-purpose Sports Field which in turn allows many people to hold Activities for the purpose of entertainment in the Parish. Between these 2 groups the Parish is looked after in the sense that whatever needs to be done Mullagh Development can take charge.
'Mullagh Entire' Drama Group
This group was formed around 2001/02 and has successfully produced four plays which have brought quite an amount of entertainmnet to the Parish. At present it is starting to produce its 5th Play ready, hopefully, for Spring 2006. Every year the group sends a donation to 1 or 2 charities. Plays produced so far include: "Wanted One Body", "Brush With a Body", "Sive", "Big Maggie".The Brownies

The grounds are in Quilty where many matches are played throughout the year, in many age groups. Training activities are also held there.

The stand provides welcome shelter for all supporters regardless who is playing!Mullagh Agricultural Show Committee

A group of talented 'young ones' practise their dancing at the Community Hall in Mullagh every Thursday night.
