About

Capture the spirit of the past through Fire, Feast and Folklore, authentic Irish fire side feasts and experiences on our Heritage Farm.

Reclaiming our ancient heritage, there is a time and season for everything as our events will change to mark each of the eight celtic festivals, Imbolc, Bealtaine, Lughnasa, Samhain, Winter & Summer equinox's and Spring & Autumn solstices. Capturing the old farming calendar in the celtic wheel of the year. We will come together to capture the spirit of the past and embrace an old way of life that wll bring us back into community, preserve ancient skills, share folklore and let us live sustainably with nature.

Guests will receive a welcome drink and light bite on arrival before taking a walking heritage tour of the Willow and Lore family farm, this will include a hands on seasonal farm activity where they will produce, harvest or process butter, potatoes or wheat for their meal. On return to the cottage they will
assist in cooking at the fire, preparing traditional, local farm produce. They will enjoy their food by the open fire listening to local folklore with a parting glass of sloe gin or homemade cordial.
