Join us to celebrate the ancient Celtic Festival of Lammas, Lughnasa or Lughnasadh, a celebration of the summer and the gathering of the first harvest. Lammas is a Saxon word meaning ‘Loaf-mass’, and Lughnasadh (pronounced Loo-nas-ah) is Irish Gaelic. At Lammas, fires were lit to honour the corn mother as she gives birth to her harvest child, the grain, who will sustain life over the winter. Music, storytelling and feasting would take place to celebrate the abundance of the earth and a successful harvest.
There will also be enchanting folk music by Murphy’s Lore to enchant your ears throughout the evening.
