What Community Members Say
Real feedback from people who’ve experienced our events
“Wasn’t expecting to find such a genuine community around Irish heritage. I’ve been to three events now and actually made friends with people I see regularly. The quality is really high — these aren’t touristy events.”
— Siobhan, 52
“The medieval monastery lecture series changed how I see the old sites I’d walked past my whole life. The historian actually spent time explaining context, not just dates. Worth every minute.”
— Declan, 58
“I’m not crafty myself, but the spring fair was brilliant. Meeting the actual makers and seeing how they work — it’s completely different from buying something mass-produced. I’ve gone back three times now.”
— Mary, 45
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our events and how to participate
Are events accessible for people with mobility considerations?
Yes. We work with venues to ensure accessibility. Each event listing includes specific accessibility information — parking, wheelchair access, seating availability. If you have particular needs, contact us before the event and we’ll help arrange what’s needed.
Do I need to be Irish or have family history to attend?
Not at all. We welcome everyone interested in Irish culture and heritage. Our members come from Ireland and beyond. What matters is genuine interest in the arts and history, not background.
How often do events happen?
We typically host 40+ events annually — that’s roughly 3-4 per month spread across different counties. Lectures are usually Thursday evenings, exhibitions run for weeks, and craft fairs happen seasonally.
Can I bring a guest to an event?
Absolutely. Most events welcome guests. If you’re on our mailing list and want to bring someone, just let us know in advance and we’ll make sure there’s space and they get the details they need.
What should I expect at a storytelling evening?
Typically 90 minutes in a comfortable, intimate setting. A storyteller shares traditional Irish tales and folklore, sometimes with local history woven in. There’s refreshment time beforehand and afterwards for conversation. Casual dress, no preparation needed.
