Ceili at Cavan Adventure Centre - Heritage Week

At Cavan Adventure Centre · Inishmore, Butlers Bridge, Co. Cavan

Cavan lakeside at Butlers Bridge with evening light

What to Expect

An intimate evening of traditional Irish culture set against the backdrop of Cavan’s shimmering lakes. The event combines a ceili with sean-nos singing, poetry and storytelling, and finishes with a hearty BBQ of locally sourced produce. The lakeside setting at Cavan Adventure Centre on the shores of Lough Oughter adds to the occasion. This is a Heritage Week event, making traditional culture accessible and relaxed rather than formal.

The ceili format welcomes all, whether experienced set dancers or complete beginners, with the evening intended as a community gathering as much as a performance.
