Takes place on selected evenings from May to September.
Before the world of TV, long nights in Ireland were passed by ceilidhing (or airneal/scoraíocht) in what was known as a Rambling House. This was a house where people congregated for gossip, storytelling - and perhaps the odd song and dance late into the night. Linsfort Castle will hold Rambling Houses sessions in their Old Kitchen to recreate how our forefathers entertained themselves in days gone by and maybe preserve some of the lore of the land. If you can tell a tale, sing a song, recite a poem, know a forgotten fact about the area, do a kitchen jig or play a bit of music, you are welcome to join us. There is no admission fee. Tea and light refreshments are provided and guests may bring a contribution. The event is suited to different age groups.
