Ceili by the Lee

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.

Cork Craft & Design

Cork Craft & Design is a craft collective exhibiting and selling a large variety of high quality crafts all made in the county of Cork. Operating as a cooperative craft shop – staffed by the craftspeople themselves. With a large range of gifts, craft furniture and jewellery to browse Cork Craft & Design is always worth a visit. Makers come and go from the space with a rotation of stock once a month introducing new makers and new products to admire and inspire.

Reviewed By Vickycork

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.

Visited with family who were on holiday from Australia. We got to meet many of the team, with our host Mary being ever so charming and delightful, showing us around the factory, and giving us its history since 1976. We were treated to casting demonstrations, and the factory shop also has a wonderful array of goods including casting kits for beginners and experts, pewter mugs and hip flasks, and beautifully finished chess sets. Our highlight was the Battle of Waterloo exhibition which was on show during our visit (due to leave in November so catch it while you can). Just shows the creativity that a skilled modeler can create from what comes out of this facility. Will certainly be bringing more guests here, highly recommended.
