Bunratty Mediaeval Banquet
Bunratty Castle, was built in the 15th century by the Earl of Thomond and stands on the banks of the Rathy River. From here The Earl ruled over his Chiefdom and entertained lavishly, in fact he was famous for his hospitality. Following this tradition of hospitality, the world renowned Bunratty Medieval Banquet is held twice nightly throughout the year.
For over 40 years the Ladies of the Castle, aided and abetted by the Earl's Butler, have welcomed guests from the four corners of the globe to join them at The Earl's Banquet. The entertainment provided by the superb Bunratty Singers is a fitting compliment to a four course meal, a lively meal reception and of course good wine. We invite you to enjoy an unforgettable evening in the splendor of this magnificent castle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guests reach the Castle through the Entrance Cottage and a short atmospheric walk through the Folk Park to the Castle Gate. There a kilted piper plays a tune of welcome. Then up the Castle steps and over the drawbridge to the 'Bite of Friendship' offered by one of the Hostesses.
Now to the Upper Great Hall, resplendent with tapestries and furniture of the 16th Century, where you will receive a goblet or two of Mead. Here the Butler humorously relates the history of Bunratty and the Castle Singers give you a taste of what is to come with a medieval madrigal or two. The Earl and his Lady are crowned and you proceed to the Banquet hall for Dinner.
In the Banquet Hall, the long oak tables, bench seating and candle-light with the warm glow of the fire reflect the Banqueting style of the mediaeval era. During the meal the Butler and the Ladies delight you with snippets of music and song. The 4 course meal is a pleasant balance of contrasting Irish meat dishes as used during period and is accompanied with red and white wines.
This is followed by the high-light of the evening, the entertainment program in which the Butler and the Ladies of the Castle, (some of Ireland's best female choral singers) accompanied by Harp and Fiddle perform a variety of Medieval and well loved Irish song
