The Shannon Heritage portfolio has developed over the past 50 years from one product in 1963, which was the Medieval Banquet at Bunratty Castle, to a total of 7 day visitor experiences and 4 evening entertainments located in the Shannon Region.

The enduring success of Bunratty Castle and its Medieval Banquets has served as a model – one which has been imitated, in other parts of the world but not equalled. Shannon Heritage is dedicated to capturing the past at its visitor attractions and dinner entertainments in a way you can enjoy and appreciate. The Shannon Heritage portfolio offers fun and a value for money experience.
