Surrounded by the flickering glow of candlelight and the sounds of traditional music, you'll be treated to an evening of authentic medieval entertainment and a sumptuous banquet.

5Medieval Madrigal Evening
Very nice evening of entertainment with talented and animated characters that made for a lively and memorable experience! Highly recommend this event and the food is delicious too!
5Good time with family.
The hall seats about 100-150. Entertainment was. Very good and involved crowd participating in the banquet activities.
5Wonderful experience
Absolutely delightful experience. A couple from our travel group was asked to participate in a skit and they did an excellent job! The musicians and dancer was beautiful and the food was very good. We were greeted with honey mead and seated in a medieval setting, water and wines were on the tables, and your meal was served during performances.
5Exactly what we wanted
This was a perfect start to our vacation! We chose this place because we were looking for something more formal and showcasing talent more than jest, and it was exactly what we wanted. The harpist was phenomenal! The violinist was also great! And the singing was wonderful. Our absolute favorite was the irish dancer though! He was beyond impressive! We loved the food experience and the staff that waited on us was quick and very attentive. We wouls definitely do it again. 10/10
5Fun night!
We loved the banquet! The food was delicious. We had one vegetarian in our group and they accommodated him well. So fun to be in a castle. The entertainment was great! All the actors were friendly and welcoming. A great night.

About Shannon
Shannon is a modern town in County Clare on the Shannon Estuary, home to Shannon Airport and a base for the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher.
Shannon was laid out in the 1960s as a new town for the workers of the nearby airport, which began life as a stopover for transatlantic flights. The town itself is modern and low-rise, with parks and housing estates, but it stands on the northern bank of the wide Shannon Estuary, in a landscape of fields, wetlands and old tower houses.
