Dunguaire Castle Banquet

After a short history of the Castle and a musical introduction by the Castle Singers, guests climb the staircase to enter the Banquet Hall. There the bench seating, dim candle - light and long oak tables reflect the Banqueting style of the medieval era.
The 4 course meal is a pleasant balance of Irish Fish and Meat dishes as served during the period and is accompanied with music, song and verse.
After dinner, we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy the entertainment programme. The entertainment programme takes the form of a selection of songs, poems and excerpts from the Irish Literary writers and poets that were associated with the Galway Region e.g. Yeats, Synge, Shaw, Gogarty and Fahy.
