Certainly correct me if I am mistaken, but having spent a lot of time in Clare I believe this is the Bunratty Castle Medieval Banquet. You don't mention whether this is an organized holiday or whether you are traveling on your own. If you are on your own I hope you do a lot of exploring on your own in Clare it is a lovely place, just taking time meandering through the Burren, visiting Doolin etc can be fantastic. Then head north to Galway. My family is from there so I admit my prejudice but it is wonderful and Connemara is one of my favorite spots on earth.

Yes the Bunratty Castle is a Medieval Banquet and show. I will be on tour with a band with about 40 people all together. I will take a lot of photos and post when I back.

Doolin rocks, best craic in Ireland. The Burren is beautiful. Galway has the prettiest girls in Ireland. Connemara has to be seen to be believed. Have fun.
