represented there with a range of tasty products
including breads, wines, olives and seafood, spit
roast pig, organic fruit and vegetables and a range

 Maybe
the Irish Crafts Village with its hand made produce
will attract or perhaps the Woodland Village where
we can find the pole lathe worker turning cloth
pegs, the hurdle maker, the thatcher and the
blacksmith rubbing shoulders with the basket maker
and the weavers. Whether you want Irish woollens,
ceramics or hand crafted jewellery or just fancy a
willow basket for in front of the fire, we have it
for you at Ballinlough Castle.

 If
horses are your thing then we have those in
abundance, along with gundogs and terriers, ferrets
and birds of prey, traditional music and Irish dance
and, of course, the beer tent to while away a few
minutes between those shopping sprees! |
