Traditional Irish Wedding Re-enactment - Heritage Week 22nd - 30th August 2015

It doesn't seem like twelve months ago since our traditional Irish Wake for Heritage Week last year.  We really enjoyed putting on the interactive evening and now we are excited about this years event.  The wheels are in motion already and it is set to be another great evening.  Us Irish love a good wedding and we decided in keeping with the theme of Heritage Week for 2015 which is "Discover the past. Build the future", we are going to hold a Traditional Irish Wedding Re-Enactment.  Like last year it will be an interactive event where we will be encouraging the wedding guests to get involved. 

The wedding is set in the era of the 1950's when the wedding breakfasts were traditionally held in the home of the bride.  The customs, traditions and fashions of the day will be portrayed.    Space is limited to 28 guests in total so booking is essential.  To get your name on the table plan for the occasion call or email on the details below.  You wont be disappointed.  

Heritage week is the largest cultural event in Ireland.  It is expected that 400,000 people will attend the events scheduled across the country.  For details on all the events taking place in Co. Waterford and in Ireland go to www.heritageweek.ie

Bog Trotting Time Again

I can't believe its almost 12 months since last years Bog Trot, the months are flying. Its a sure sign that Spring time is definitely here! We had a ball last year on the Bog Trot with Mike Wall and all the Nire Valley Walking Crew. After spending all my years looking up at the Comeragh's it was nice to get up to the very top and look down. This was something I had said I would do for years but just never got around to it. Its an amazing sight when you get to the top, I didn't know that it actually was like a bog up there! The initial climb up was tough going but well worth the effort. When you get to the top its pretty much flat until you get to the Nire Valley side. Going down was much harder than going up I thought.

If you've no plans for next weekend (Next Saturday 24th March) and you've always wanted to get up there to see what it's like check out the Nire Valley Walking website for more info. There is an A walk and a B+. After all the fresh air you are sure to be worn out so give us a call and we'll sort out a comfy bed for an over night stay at Nells Farmhouse.

Enjoy!
