The Highlight of our Trip - This was one of our stops as part of our CIE bus tour of Ireland. It was truly one of most memorable experiences we had in Ireland. The castle grounds are picturesque and the interior dining area was truly a medieval experience. The wine flowed endlessly and the food was delicious. But the entertainment...WOW!! This is what we came to Ireland to see. Traditional Irish singing and dancing. The show blew me away. This is one stop not to miss.

An Unforgettable Date night at the Castle - I attended the banquet in Knappouge Castle on 22/8/23 with my partner and I can say I was NOT disappointed in the slightest. As you come through the gates you get the real isolated feel of a proper medieval castle. After arriving we took a stroll around the grounds and the beautiful walled garden before we went to the castle for the evening to begin. From the moment we were greeted at the door by the castle entertainers the experience had begun, on the night we were treated to a surprise and made a king and queen of Munster for the night. The entertainers brought us into the castle to a mead reception where you could hear the fiddle and harpist playing in the main hall which just made it a real castle experience. The characterization of the entertainers was 10/10 from the moment we arrived and this continued throughout the entire night. After being led to the top table the entertainers began the night by explaining the running of the show, again the professionalism along with the comedic references used had the entire crowd laughing. The food was so nice I had to finish my partner's plate as she was too full to eat anymore. The free wine given to you throughout definitely helped me here. The show commenced and I was out of my seat after each scene/song giving a standing ovation as it was very much deserved for the talent displayed by each and every person on stage from musician to dancer to singer. I did not want the night to end and felt a sadness when it did as I could have watched them all sing and entertain us all night long. The main reason I would recommend this to everyone of all ages is simply the staff. How you are treated by each and every person is to the highest degree. Every person I dealt with was kind, attentive to us at our table and made us smile and laugh from start until finish. They really deserve all the credit for the experience we had. And finally, it is a great feeling to be called ''My King/My lord'' or ''My Queen/My Lady'' each time it brings a smile to your face and even more so makes you join in more and get involved. If you have not been i would highly recommend an evening in Knappouge Castle, I will certainly be going back again.

Lovely experience - 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.

Killian's Birthday - Having experienced both the Knoppogue Castle and the Bunratty Castle banquettes I have to say that the Knappogue experience is the winner in both the quality of the food and the entertainment! We plan on adding that to our guests tours of West Clare.

Have to Experience! - Loved this experience! Entertainment, dancing, music, and food were definitely worthwhile! Drink mead (honeyed wine) or juice. Soup, salad, grain bread and chicken gave a glimpse of how banquets were celebrated!

A Great Night of Fun, Food and Frivolity - It has been such a long time since I attended a themed evening like this. It was a night of fun, food and frivolity with a four-course meal, bottomless red and white wine jugs, audience participation and singing and dancing with music provided by a talented harpist and violinist.

Beautiful Evening - What a fun evening. From the mead greeting throughout the evening we were transformed to the middle ages. Getting to be King and Queen of the evening was a special treat, but our whole group enjoyed the evening. The musicians were quite talented and the dancer was fantastic. Loved the harpist and violinist. All this and good food too. Recommend it for sure.

Great dinner and show! - Had a Great time. Beautiful area. The car park was flooded so we couldn't see the gardens. Everyone was very friendly.

Great time at Knappogue Castle Medieval Banquet - My husband and I really enjoyed the music, dancing and delicious food. The young ladies' voices were lovely and Connor a great Irish dancer. The harpist and violinist added beautifully to the evening. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Dinner service was amazingly fast. The host of the evening was talented and made the whole program jolly. Didn't think we'd like the mead but it was very good.

Authentic castle experience - A fun night at a more remote castle. The show was marvelous and very entertaining. We were greeted by the royalty of the castle who gave us a cup of mead. The dinner was delicious and well timed. We loved the humor, music and dance which brought the evening to a close at 2130. So glad we included this in our itinerary.
