Irish Evening at Bunratty

County Clare


High-spirited Irish nights lift the roof of a corn barn in the folk park adjacent to Bunratty Castle. Waitstaff serve Irish classics (stews, poached salmon, apple pie) amid traditional storytelling, music and dancing, while wine gets you in the mood for the singalong.
