All warriors need to relax at some point and after a day of sword skills and archery, it's time to sit down and watch the flames light the night's entertainment of story telling, music and craic. Bring your musical instruments or a story to share as we step back in time, with no phones or the distractions of home and immerse ourselves in older traditions. |

We have held six Lughnasa Games weekends here at Rath Niamh in from 2008 to now in 2014.
The games are themed as traditional Celtic in the High Medieval period (about 1000 years ago). We pitch medieval tents, there is a central wood fire where we cook in cauldrons and log seats allow a circle gathering around the campfire. There are medieval displays of leathercraft, camp kitchen, weapons, helmets and armour. Throughout the day you can take part in warrior and/or craft skills workshops. You have the option of entering into the tournament and maybe even win a prize, then relax for the evening around a central campfire and enjoy the stories and craic, maybe even share a story or two yourself. This is a family friendly event, bring your own tent. No pets. All food is provided.Tickets are limited to 50 people for this event.
