What To Expect
Arrive a little before the starting time of your banquet at Knappogue Castle in Ennis, so you won’t miss a thing. Please note the characters you meet throughout the night are playing a part of someone who might have existed during the medieval times.
This 2.5-hour banquet is being thrown for all the “guests” by the Earl. Be greeted at the castle’s front entrance by the Earl’s Butler and the ladies of the castle. They’ll take you over to Dalcassian Hall, where you can mingle with the castle entertainers, and try your own goblet of mead (a honey wine).
During this experience, be serenaded by Irish music, and watch traditional Irish dances. Hear stories about the castle’s history, and enjoy a 4-course meal by candlelight in a traditional medieval banquet hall with long wooden tables and wooden benches. You’re in store for a lovey night filled with food, friendship, music, and a few surprises.

We had a fabulous experience enjoying this beautiful castle with an amazing group of enthusiastic entertainers who clearly love what they do! The food was better than we expected and this was a night we will never forget. 5 plus stars for this wonderful event!

Absolutely the best medieval banquet I’ve ever seen!! I think this was even more charming than the Bunratty Medieval Banquet. Good was incredible, the drive was charming, the castle had the perfect atmosphere but hands down the best part of the night was that incredible entertainment. The songs, the acting, the jokes, the stories … just a hilarious evening with a superb cast!

As close to time travel as you can get. This was an excellent way to travel back in time for an evening.

Music, singing and dancing were great. Plenty of humour. The players are all talented, charming and made every effort to ensure guests had a lovely experience. I was surprised by how nice the food was. I loved it.

Very entertaining dancing, singing, storytelling, music, themed costumes, well organized meal service...Definitely a memorable part of our trip and worth money!

Not to be missed, this is a truly delightful and entertaining evening: the setting is a historic medieval castle, resplendent with formal gardens, courtyards, winding stone corridors, banquet rooms filled with refectory tables, etc., all set in a beautiful pastoral setting guests are greeted as Lords and Ladies by a butler truly blessed with the Irish gift of the gab -- witty and hilarious throughout the evening meade flows at the reception in the courtyard prior to an excellent four-course meal, served in the banquet room by enchanting ladies who are dressed in period costumes, who sing and dance and play harps...They share the stage with a young lad straight out of Riverdance! We were 10 in our party, with ages ranging from 3 to 74 and everyone simply loved it! Pure magic!

Food was good. Entertainment was fun. The women's voices were beautiful. We really enjoyed the young male's dancing. He obviously was enjoying himself very much and he was quite good. The whole evening was delightful.
