The Golden Mile: A Storytelling Masterclass

Step into the old shed at the Golden Mile for a day-long celebration of Ireland’s Rambling House tradition – the fireside gatherings where neighbours swapped stories, songs, and news long before television arrived.

Led by Kells-based writer and teacher Dr. Simon Thomas, this hands-on masterclass will help you find, shape, and tell your own stories – whether they’re family memories, local history, or tall tales worth keeping alive.

10:00 – 12:00 – Morning masterclass: the roots of the Rambling House and finding your story
