Bertha’s Revenge Gin has taken a stall at the Ballymaloe May Fair over the weekend of 12th, 13th and 14th May. We have been to the Ballymaloe May Fair ourselves as punters in the past and it is a fantastic day out for all the family. The event is located at the stunning Ballymaloe House with incredible food trucks, workshops, cookery demos and a dizzying array of stall holders selling all sorts of curiosities from antiques to Irish crafts to artisan gin. Come and have a gin-wag with Justin who will be there throughout the weekend. Justin will be sharing Bertha tipples and the ‘full herd’ of Bertha’s Revenge Gin will be on sale.

Historian and author Bill Power has recently published his latest book ‘Doomed Inheritance’ about the burning and looting of Mitchelstown Castle on the 12th and 13th of August 1922. It was the biggest house ever destroyed in Ireland. This book is the result of four decades of research by Bill, who has an unrivalled knowledge of this subject. We are delighted to have Bill at Ballyvolane House who will be giving a talk about these tumultuous events a century ago.
