We’re excited to introduce you to a unique farm-to-cone experience at Muchgrange Farm, located under the stunning Slieve Foy mountain on the Cooley Peninsula. Did you know that the Hanlon family has been dairy farming for four generations and are now Ireland’s first gelato-producing dairy farm? 🍦🐄

Visitors can join the Hanlon family for a fun, hands-on experience including meeting the cows in the fields, a tour of the milking parlour, and discovering how their rich, non-homogenised milk is transformed into creamy gelato, using the same milk that has been part of their family heritage for years. Our favourite part then is finishing off with two scoops of fresh, farm-made gelato at the farm shop. 🌿✨

We were delighted to step inside Sarah McKenna’s 250-year-old studio in Dundalk’s historic St. Nicholas' Quarter to meet the artist herself and witness her craft up close. For over 20 years, Sarah has been weaving the rich tapestry of Irish life into her ceramic creations, blending nostalgia, warmth, and a love for Ireland’s landscape and people.

Each piece, with its intricate textures and heartfelt messages, captures the essence of life’s simple joys. We were truly inspired by the transformation of raw clay into meaningful works of art. Visitors can also take part in immersive, hands-on experiences under Sarah’s guidance, creating their own story in clay.

We highly recommend that you explore her gallery and discover stunning art from the talented makers

We want to shine a light on Lana Dullaghan, an Interior Designer and Artist who is modernising Irish heritage through her sustainable art collections, inspired by Ireland’s natural beauty and rich linen tradition. 🌿✨

Having lived in Ireland for 15 years, Lana fell in love with the country’s connection to colour and nature, which now influences her creative work. As the Founder and Creative Director of Lana Dullaghan Designs, she has launched exclusive art and home collections that breathe new life into traditional Irish linen – a fabric renowned for its durability, eco-friendliness, and deep cultural roots.💚

You can join Lana for a rich Irish linen experience, where you’ll learn to style a table with traditional and modern linen, inspired by the "Children of Lir." Enjoy afternoon tea with Boyne Valley flavours, discover the art of hand embroidery, and immerse yourself in the stories behind this iconic fabric. This is a perfect blend of storytelling, artisanry, and sustainable luxury! 🌸✨

We’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on Celtic Clays, a pottery studio nestled between the serene Carlingford Lough and the majestic Omeath Mountains. 💚 Here, Master Potter Ciarán O’Conboirne brings Ireland’s ancient myths and legends to life through his stunning handmade pottery, featuring intricate Celtic knots, spirals, and original designs inspired by the beauty and history of the Cooley Peninsula. 🌿✨

From the vibrant Sliabh Foy Green to the deep Loch Blue, Ciarán’s unique glaze palette mirrors the natural wonders of his surroundings. Whether it’s ‘The Brown Bull of Cooley’ or the Celtic Tree of Life, every piece tells a story of Ireland’s rich heritage.

Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Anita Reynolds, an artist based in the beautiful Boyne Valley countryside in Ballivor, County Meath.

Anita’s work in clay, textile design, and batik art is deeply inspired by nature and Ireland’s rich heritage. Her hands-on experiences draw from the beauty of the natural world, like the intricate patterns of leaves from native Irish trees and the detail of vintage Irish lace and traditional Irish embroidery. Her love for the Irish language shines through, as she incorporates the Gaelic font from her grandfather’s printing business into her designs. 🌿✨

Step into Anita’s world, where she blends history, nature, and Irish culture. You’ll leave with a unique, handcrafted keepsake rooted in Irish heritage. Anyone who books a workshop with Anita will create something truly special, immersed in the joy and beauty of Irish art.

Did you know that the ancient art of felting has deep roots in Ireland, long before modern textiles took over? WhoWeAreIreland met Caoimhe Tuthill of Boann Irish Felt – a talented felt artist and former archaeologist whose studio is nestled near the historic village of Slane, just minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Brú na Bóinne. 💚

Caoimhe’s workshops are inspired by the myths, megalithic art, and landscapes of the Boyne Valley. Using eco-friendly materials like merino wool, bamboo, and recycled fabrics, her experiences offer a hands-on, mindful journey into this ancient craft creating beautiful felt pieces that connect you to Ireland’s rich heritage.

Did you know that sourdough was historically baked in Ireland before bread soda arrived in the 1800s and made us famous for soda bread! We didn’t, until we met Chris Brownlow- The Gentlemen Baker and former Potato Farmer for Ireland’s much-loved Tayto crisps (we LOVE that detail!).💚

At his home in the Boyne Valley in beautiful County Meath, Chris delivers fun-filled and thought-provoking sourdough bread making experiences that are delicious and good for your health. Who knew?! ✨

Remember during the pandemic when there was a sourdough craze and it all seemed so complicated with keeping starters on the go – well Chris has a much simpler approach to all of that. Phew – the pressure is off and the whole whoweareireland team are now committed to weekly sourdough bakes.🍞

A great experience for adults and families – to book, check out .with.benefits
