      Can you imagine what life was like for people in the Bronze Age? How did they adapt? At Craggaunowen you will experience the resilience and fortitude of these early Bronze Age settlers. Explore the Crannog – an artificial island dwelling defended by a hidden pathway in the water.  Marvel at how the Celts fed large numbers of hunters while on hunting missions deep in the forest. These were skilled hunters who adopted highly sophisticated cooking techniques involving a large pit, a length of rope and of course fresh meat! Travel back in time to the life of the hunter-gatherer in the Ring Fort. You will see how the Celts carried out their every-day activities as they cooked over open fires or in pits; ground corn for making bread or porridge on hand-powered querns; or made pottery, wooden bowls, goblets and platters. Do you know who really discovered America? Visit the Brendan Boat – a leather hulled boat built by Tim Severin who sailed across mid-Atlantic, re-enacting the voyage of St. Brendan and the early Christian monks reputed to have discovered America centuries before Columbus!!    Explore Craggaunowen Castle the 16th century restored Medieval Castle built in 1550 standing defiantly on a crag overlooking the lake and enjoy magnificient views of the countryside.  Observe rare and really interesting animal breeds such as wild boar and soay sheep - specimens of the pre-historic era.   Visit one of Ireland’s earliest roadways or ‘togher’ dating to 148 BC.  Exploring the Souterrain is fun - designed to store food but these were often a welcome escape route when under attack from the enemy! Good place for hide and seek! Enjoy the fresh air and lake walks in a most enjoyable rural setting. Savour our wonderful homemade fare in the charming farmhouse tea-room.

      Bunratty Castle Banquet - Fun & Entertaining Experience!
      Fun, fantastic experience! Food was good, performers were great: very talented & entertaining. Being in an authentic, historically-rich, medieval castle was such a bonus. Vegetarian option available. Hotel lodging available very close to the castle & folk park - walkable.

      Great night of family fun
      So much fun what a great evening of entertainment and food. Truthfully was not expecting much on the food side, but it was actually pretty good and the entertainment was definitely worth it.

      Fun medieval night out!
      Had some friends from Canada visit & went on this tour. I lived nearby for years & never went to the banquet. Really enjoyed the performance. Characters were great, music was lovely & the jokes were also on point. Everyone had a great night.

      Disappointing, overpriced with terrible food
      My husband and I wanted to treat our adult children and their partners to a fun night out together. What a huge disappointment this banquet turned out to be. We have both gone together many times in the past and always enjoyed the food and entertainment. This event has gone seriously downhill. Firstly the food was dreadful, my family will eat anything but after we left they all ordered pizzas as they couldn't eat the food given during the meal. The ribs were dry with a spoon of jar topping, the brown bread was still in the plastic wrapper, the only saving grace was the soup. Even the show seems to have been shortened. Overall after paying 80 euro each I was hughly upset at wasting our money at Bunratty. I can understand it's appeal to visitors as it is unusual and the castle is very interesting but for us that is where it stopped. We should have gone to a nice restaurant in town for a good meal and a few drinks which would have probably cost half the price. Please get your food and entertainment standards back to where they were.

      A unique experience fun for the whole family
      This was such a blast for the whole family. The service and entertainment were both spectacular. The food was just fine but it didn’t take away from the experience as a whole. I had been told that a real Irish person wouldn’t go to this and that might be so but I didn’t regret it for a moment.

      You will not regret it
      This is a must do just for the fun of it. The food was good and all the staff made it even better experience.

      Awful experience
      Not acceptable ! Arrived at this event for my mothers 80th birthday as this was her choice of celebration only to be informed that event was cancelled !!! We had booked hotel nearby at a cost of 440 euro and not eaten all day as we were expecting to eat at the banquet ! My mother was so disappointed.. not to mention the expense of travelling and staying there in the vicinity .. had no notification of cancellation! Still awaiting to hear from the organisers

      Spend the day & book the 5:30 show!
      First class experience all the way! Best 2 hours of my vacation! I really felt like i was in medieval times! More food than we could eat and informative entertainment the whole time. ***We had the 8:30 show and wished we could have included a castle tour and visit to folk park by booking the 5:30 show for the end of our day there.***

      Very charming setting, yummy food, great entertainment. Tom is a masterful entertainer, very kind and a talented singer. The arrangements are all special to this group and their singing is very precise.
