Lives, Land & Legend - Samhain Celebration

Step back to a simpler time and peek in the window to an old Irish way of life. Capture the spirit of the past, from field to farm-stead to fireside. Following the Celtic farming calendar, get hands-on with the farming seasons and join us for the celebration of Samhain - the end of the harvest season and the transition into the darkness of winter

Start with a traditional Irish country welcome with a drink and light bite followed by a reflective walking tour of Willow and Lore family heritage farm connecting you to the place, a forgotten era and the Samhain season

Step into the shoes of our farming ancestors and get hands on with seasonal farm activities:

• Make butter, from milk in the urn to butter in the churn
• Thresh the wheat from the chaff and learn how to take corn from meadow to dough
• Growing potatoes with man, horse and tractor power. From potatoes in the soil to spuds on the boil

With these staple ingredients and local produce, traditional Irish food is prepared on a griddle and enjoyed around the open fire, listening to local and Samhain folklore and finishing up with a customary Irish parting glass.

We welcome you for an evening of entertainment, easy hands on fun, a light late supper and good craic by the fireside.
