Mainistir Shligigh

Scenic view

The Seanchaí tradition, rooted in Ireland's ancient past, has left an indelible mark on our culture. Our love for storytelling, our rich oral traditions, and even the romantic qualities owe a debt to these master storytellers. They remind us of the power of a well told tale. The importance of preserving our stories, and the magic that can happen when we gather to listen and to share. With a background in Historical, Heritage and Folklore, oy Seanchaí will delve into old Irish mythology, beliefs, and customs specific to Sligo Town. “The original town of Sligo stood on a plain now overspread by the waters of Lough Gill, and that the islets studding the bosom of the lake are the crests of verdant knolls which formerly adorned its green expanse,"according to ancient stories, recalls a "fairy city" with "magnificent streets and buildings" within Lough Gill.

We will also explore the landscape around the lake taking in Cairns Hill, Tobernalt, The Sleeping Giant, Dooney Rock, Slish Wood and Parkes Castle. So pull up a chair close to the fire, to catch every word…
This is an intergenerational event, suitable for children, parents and grandparents and is free to attend.
