HAPPENING TONIGHT!! Stop by The Kiln & Kettle 7 pm for some craic! Can wait!! 🎶🎻💚

‼️ HAPPENING THIS EVENING ‼️

Two pop‑up Gaeltachts will be open on Market Street — right across from each other!

🕖 7pm
📍 Market Street, Downpatrick

Whether you're taking your first steps with the language or you’re already fluent, there’s a space for everyone to join in the fun.

In The Kiln & Kettle Young Gaels, beginners, and learners can dive into Irish through games, pottery painting, and relaxed conversation—perfect for building confidence and having a bit of craic along the way.

Meanwhile, fluent speakers can gather in Oakley Fayre to mingle, catch up, and enjoy the natural flow of Irish in a friendly, welcoming setting.

We are delighted to also have dancers from the Owens Academy entertain in both Gaeltachts

The street will be buzzing with the sound of the Irish language, the aroma of great coffee ☕ and freshly baked treats, and of course—music! 🎵🎶🎻

Come along, soak up the atmosphere, and speak a cúpla focal!

Everyone is welcome - bígí linn! 🙌
