Theme: gathering to stock up for the Winter.

Pat 'Doagh' Doherty tells us about the unorthodox way folk used to fish up in Doagh in the old days. Along with sister Majella, he runs the famous Doagh Famine Village.
This hidden gem is a reconstructed village with great attention to detail. Your affable host, Pat, puts famine in a global context and tells it with warmth, wit and insight. You also get to hear about old Irish funeral customs as well as seeing an old Republican "safe house" and Orange Hall right beside each other!

Open from Easter until late October, 10-5.30. Disabled access. Tea & scones included with entrance fee.
