Overall Ratings

Ceili by the Lee is a traditional Irish social gathering. It's hard to be all things to all people, but we try our best: whether you want to learn to dance in the old Irish style, get fit, make new friends, or simply have the craic we have you covered! Combining the hectic energy of a party in an ocean liner steerage with the nostalgia of a Gaeltacht days fado, this is an activity that won't disappoint! Come along from 8, and the MC will show how they used to do in old Ireland. Neither aptitude nor experience is required, as the Messrs O'Toole are renowned for turning two left feet into a matching pair. Mondays at 19:30 in Crane Lane on Phoenix Street Admission €5 Check FB for more info!

A great experience the few times I went! Each week starts with the basic steps, which is great for people like me that need a lot of practice. But it's never boring because of the enthusiasm of the instructor and the different dances every week.

Fantastic collect of work by Cork based local crafts people. This is run like a co-operative. Craft standards are very high. Worth visiting on a monthly basis as crafts people change/ rotate on a monthly basis. Keep an eye out for the Home exhibition in Kinsale during craft month every August. Something for every budget and for people who appreciate skill, design and craft. If you want throw away things made in sweat shops then this isn't the place for you.

The pottery studio had organised Covid measures very well and the staff were very welcoming. The pottery painting is great fun, relaxing and a lovely way to spend an hour or two. We were a group of 6 adults and we had lots of fun, but undoubtedly children would love it also. Well organised, not too expensive and a lovely personal souvenir of your holidays to bring home. You do need to plan this though because the pottery needs to be glazed and fired, so you call back to the studio after about 3 days to pick it up. However, if that doesn't fit with your schedule, the studio will ship it to you (don't know if there is an extra cost for this, as we didn't need to).

Attended the Dessert Trolley Demo in Ballymaloe last Tuesday. Had a fabulous enjoying afternoon. I often take a trip to the school for demos. Twice to the Afternoon tea one, twice to the Cheese and Buttermaking one, took in a Christmas one a couple of times, so was delighted to spot the Award winning Dessert Demo. It's always a guarantee of learning and enjoying. From Dublin I travelled to Cork, booking an overnight stay in the wonderful Hayfield Manor, and travelling on at leisure to Shanagarry the next day. The weather was glorious and on arrival the place was a buzz. Greeted with tea/coffee, elderflower juice and sooòoo freshly baked succulent Sponge cake, scones, and healthy tray bake. And the wonderful Rory serving up. He is such a nice man, and not a bit pretentious. Social distancing was perfect, with masks and visors being used. Then a stroll into the food store and shop. Gorgeous jams, some just made with in season produce, so a variety of 6 jars bought, some yogurt for my Husband, mad e from milk from their jersey cows, sourdough bread, lemon drizzle cake, were my choices this time. They have their butter for sale, but I make my own. And a selection of in season veg. Little bags of organic potatoes which were delicious. The course itself was given by RJ R, head chef at Ballymaloe House. He was delightful and lovely little stories told throughout. Everything is easy to follow and make. My favourite being the Coffee Dessert but not the Cariggeen Moss. Great little tips given. It was a perfect afternoon. I recommend everyone should attend a demo at some stage. The social aspect is good, and it's easy to mix if like me I go on my own. You get to taste everything made, and little breaks with refreshments. So take time out , take a little trip to Ballymaloe, stay over enroute, visit Kilkenny shop and Shanagarry Pottery just beside the school, and a stroll along the beach at Garryvoe.its all worth it. Thank You all at Ballymaloe
