Description

Celebrate the beauty of spring with an enchanting evening of poetry, music, and history at Castle Ward.

Set within the serene Sunken Garden and the grand interiors of the historic house, this special event brings together the magic of the season with storytelling and song.

Wander the gardens as poet Paddy Creedon crafts bespoke verses, enjoy a drinks reception at dusk, and step inside for an exclusive after-hours house tour led by their expert team. As the evening deepens, let the delicate sounds of Celtic Grace—harp, flute, and poetry—fill the house with the melodies of spring. Round off the night with a poetry treasure hunt, adding a playful twist to the experience.

Date: Saturday, 17 May Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Spaces are limited, book your place now!
