Traditional Irish music sessions take place at the Slieve Bloom Bar on the last Wednesday of each month. Every Thursday night there is a traditional music session in The Chestnut Bar in Birr.
Irish Traditional Music Sessions
If you want to enjoy a night to remember join me at the traditional music session in one of the local pubs. This is the locals night out where they play and sing until the early hours. If you can sing or play you will be more than welcome to join in.

I stayed there last weekend with a group of friends. It is a beautiful period residence decorated with exquosite antique furniture and artwork. The bedrooms are also tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The ensuite bathrooms are spotlessly clean and the extensive gardens are full of lavender and roses. Delicious home cooked breakfasts are served in the charming period dining room. The location is ideal for exploring the Slieve Blooms' hiking and mountain biking trails. It's a short walk to the village of Kinnity where you can enjoy delicious craft beers in the Slieve Blooms brewery bar and tasty pizzas in Giltraps. Chris is an incredible host; she's great craic, an accomplished cook and goes to great lengths to make your stay a unforgettable experience. I'll definitely be back! read less

It was the perfect base for such an adventure and a truly warm environment that one would require after a long day hiking. The B&B is perfect for anyone's needs, from a lovely hot breakfast in the morning (THE SCONES!!!) to the incredibly comfortable beds. I've seen people complain about the shower size but all of my family are all over 6ft (apart from Stephen he's only 5'11" ) and we had zero problems with it. Some people just like a moan. What sets this B&B apart from most was Chris. She is not only helpful with everything that a guest would need. But she is a warm and welcoming lady who makes you feel truley welcome in her home. We all had great chats with her and even shared a drink as she regaled us of her tales of travel. You'd be remiss not to spend a few hours in Chris's company. I look forward to staying here again. And I know you will too once you've stayed. read less Lovely B&B experience, would definitely stay again! Beautiful house with all the facilities required for a one-night stay.
