Ireland extends a warm welcome to you and your friends and family for the Gathering Ireland 2013. Throughout Ireland we’ll be doing what we do best, with festivals and gatherings happening across the country. We’ll be sharing our great food, drink, sport, singing and rich culture and heritage for you to experience and as you know we don’t need much of an excuse! And why not take your group and enjoy the Ballyknocken farm tour from just €49-£40 per person based on minimum group booking of 20. You and your group will learn about the rich Irish farming traditions and see Meg, the Border collie herding sheep.
