Bunratty Castle & Folk Park

At Ireland’s premier visitor attraction you are invited to explore two wonderful experiences – the acclaimed 15th century Bunratty Castle and 19th century Bunratty Folk Park. The Castle is the most complete and authentic medieval fortress in Ireland.

Built in 1425 it was restored in 1954 to its former medieval splendour and now contains mainly 15th and 16th century furnishings, tapestries, and works of art which capture the mood of those times. Within the grounds is Bunratty Folk Park where 19th century life is vividly recreated.
Each night the Ladies of the Castle, aided and abetted by the Earl’s Butler, welcome guests from the four corners of the globe to dine at The Earl’s Banquet at Bunratty Castle.

The entertainment provided by the world renowned entertainers is a fitting compliment to a mead reception, a four course feast, and of course good wine.
