Join the Earl of Thomond for a glorious banquet at this majestic 15th century Bunratty Castle. The Butler welcomes guests, toasting an era of great Irish taste with excellent food, fine wine, and honey mead. A kilted piper plays a tune of welcome as you cross the drawbridge to the 'Bite of Friendship' offered by a Hostess. In the Great Hall, resplendent with tapestries, savour a goblet of Mead while mingling with the Ladies of the Castle. The Castle's history is told, followed by a medieval Madrigal, and the crowning of the Earl & Lady, before descending to the Banquet Hall, where bench seating, candle-light, and oak tables reflect medieval style. Enjoy a sumptuous four-course dinner with fine wines, while the Ladies sing to Irish Harp and Fiddle. The Butler seeks the Lord's approval for each dish - but a scoundrel is revealed and brought before the Earl to face his fate. A 35-minute selection of Irish medieval music follows dinner. The evening lasts two and a half hours.
