• Storytelling – one of the most famous Irish traditions
  The tradition of storytelling dates back to the arrival of the Celts in Ireland. Back then, over 2,000 years ago, history and events weren’t recorded in writing – they were passed from one generation to the next via the spoken word.

Over the years, Irish mythology and Irish folklore were born and both blossomed, with incredible tales of love, loss, and battle gripping listeners across Ireland for centuries.
