Bunratty Castle Medieval Banquet

County Clare


Candlelit medieval banquets at Bunratty Castle are replete with harp-playing maidens, court jesters and meaty medieval fare (vegetarian options available) washed down with goblets of mead (honey wine). The banquets are extremely popular with groups, so book well ahead.

You can often find savings online; the earlier sitting is cheaper.
