We had a very enjoyable trail yesterday with Conor Mallon Music, Melanie Brown and Micheál Ó Seanáin for tourism event organisers from all over the world. They loved the tunes, stories and old bars visited. Our season is over now but if you have a group of 10-18 we will certainly try to cater for you. Get in touch at ballycastletradtrail.com

If you're coming to Ballycastle this summer why not book a Trad Trail with us? We stroll round three of our finest and oldest bars (#Tessie's, #theboydarms and #thehouseofmcdonnell) and discover lots of local history and the finest beers and beverages of course.
Two of Ireland's best traditional musicians will reveal the secrets of Traditional Music both locally and further afield. Then as if that wasn't enough our superb dancers will have you on your feet in no time to round off your musical adventure.
We cater for groups from 10-18 (max) as well as a special, slightly shorter Trail for smaller groups of 6-9 called 'A Chat n Tune'.
It's a great idea for a hen/stag day or any groups interested in local history, music and culture.
For more info please contact me (Micheál) directly at 07871744110 or [email protected] or the brilliant staff at The Ballycastle Visitor Information Centre 02820762024.

Another lovely review here -
"We had an amazing experience at the Ballycastle Trad Trail. Our guides Conor and Micheál were fantastic! We had great craic with the group and with our guides and learned a lot about the area, music, poetry and we even got up for couple of dances with Marie. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves from start to finish! Thanks so much! Hup!"
Remember this Saturday 25th is another chance for you to experience the living history, culture and Irish language of the area.
BBC Radio Ulster will be recording the tour too so let's put on a show for the Radi-o!!
