CRAICLY STORIES
Join us on Friday June 27th where we will celebrate “The Irish Salmon” - we will hear stories of this incredible creature and its place in Irish folklore, natural heritage, food heritage and the angling industry. It’s an evening event, with approx 50 attendees, 4 storytellers and will include a welcome drink and a 2 course fork supper.
WHERE: Ballyvolane House, Castlelyons, Cork

DATE: Friday, 27th June 2025
PRICE: €75.00 per person - includes a 2-course supper, a welcome drink, entry to CRAICLY STORIES.
The event will kick-off at 7.30pm and on arrival guests will be served a welcome drink in the house. Once everyone has arrived, a casual 2-course supper will be served in the dining terrace. After supper, the speakers will be introduced by CRAICLY STORIES founder and curator Jane Gormley and the speakers will take the floor (the storytelling will last around an hour).
