Shannon Heritage
Heritage attractions & evening entertainments
Shannon Heritage operates a number of day visitor attractions and evening entertainment experiences in County Clare. Shannon Heritage was one of the first companies in Ireland to develop and run heritage attractions and evening entertainments. The Shannon Heritage portfolio has grown over the years and began in 1963 with the operation of its first medieval banquet at Bunratty Castle in Co. Clare. The idea of medieval banquets came about as a result of the need to give transatlantic passengers a reason to get off aircraft at Shannon Airport and tour the local area.
