MILK A COW

LEARN THE BODHRAN

HELP THE SHEEPDOGS
This is genuinely a superb way for groups to immerse themselves in Irish culture. Everyone says it is a highlight of their time in Ireland.

The programme includes:

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

Irish 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.

Team Building Challenges
Activities designed to encourage people to stretch their capabilities and to embrace teamwork.

Sheep Dog Demonstration
See how our dogs control the sheep and how they help the farmer with his work./p>

Meet the Farm Animals
cattle, hens, geese, pigs, Connemara ponies, goats and donkeys.

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