International School Groups

Here at Causey Farm, we have a fantastic action packed day here which visitors seem to really enjoy.

The programme runs for 5 hours, including a short break for lunch. Everyone takes part in each activity, rather than just watching a demonstration - which is much more enjoyable for everyone!

The programme includes:

Tastes of Irish Culture

Learn about living Irish culture on the farm and bog.

Bodhrán Session

Each student plays a traditional bodhrán and learns to accompany the different rhythms of traditional Irish music including jigs, polkas and reels.

Céilí Dancing

We can teach any group The Siege of Ennis - it is a fabulous class bonding activity and even the most reticent of classes are laughing before long.

Bonding Challenges

Simple fun activities designed to encourage people to stretch their capabilities and to embrace teamwork.

Trip to the Bog and Traditional Turf-Cutting

Tractor-Trailer ride down to the bog, where students discover how the bogs were formed, and the history surrounding them. Optional Bog-jumping (change of clothes required).

Sugán (Straw) Rope Making

Students make ropes from straw. This plentiful material had numerous uses around farms, from furniture-making to tying animals together on fair day.

Hurling (Field Sport)

Learn about our ancient sport of hurling - the fastest ball sport in the world.

Sheepdog Demonstration

See how our dogs control the sheep and how they help the farmer with his work.

Farm Visit

Meet the farmyard animals and maybe even milk a cow.

Make Soda Bread

Everyone makes their own brown bread and we eat it later with butter and jam and drinks.
