Cú Roi Mac Daire
June 21 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
This myth tells the story of Cú Roí Mac Dáire, the great druid and hero of Munster, who was unjustly refused his fair share of the spoils of a raid with the men of Ulster. To claim justice, he stole away Cú Chulainn’s beloved Bláthnat and brought her to his enchanted fortress high on Caherconree, the mountain that still bears his name. Like the druid himself, the fortress had many faces, spinning each night to reveal a different side and hide its vulnerable heart.
On 21 June, Foinse will bring this ancient tale home to its birthplace — performing on the summit of Caherconree, beside the ruins of Cú Roí’s legendary clifftop fortress. This special gathering will be a storytelling event with live music and drama, immersing audiences in myth, sound, and performance at the very site where the tale was born.
The evening will also honour the Summer Solstice, with a short ceremony marking the turning of the year and the deep mythic energies of the mountain.
This is a free, ticketed event supported by Creative Ireland and Kerry County Council. Spaces are limited and pre‑booked tickets will be required.
Ticket release details to be announced.
