Bunratty Castle was built in 1425 by the MacNamaras and then passed to the O'Briens who were Earls of Thomond.  The Castle is furnished with mainly 15th and 16th century furnishings. Medieval Banquets are held in the Castle year round (reservations necessary). Bunratty folk park recreates rural and urban life in 19th century Ireland. Visitors can for example view farmhouses of various economic backgrounds, a watermill, church and village street.
The Traditional Irish Night celebrating the best traditions in Irish music, song & dance, is held in the Corn Barn at Bunratty Folk Park. The walled garden at 19th century Bunratty House has been sensitively restored and the folk park vernacular gardens have been restored with the assistance of an ERDF grant through the Great Gardens of Ireland Restoration Programme. |
