The Folklore, Fables and Legends of Lough Gur

The Folklore, Fables and Legends of Lough Gur is a talk at Lough Gur Lakeshore Park & Visitor Centre in Limerick on 1 November 2026. It looks at the goddess Áine and her son Gearóid Iarla, and the stories that link them to Lough Gur. The programme is for all ages and also includes a Samhain Scavenger Hunt, the Leaves, Lichens & Little Monsters workshop, an Autumnal Wreath Making workshop and The Road to the Otherworld bus tour. In the evenings there is a nineteenth-century séance with Anthony Galvin and three one-act comedies from the Lough Gur Amateur Dramatic Society at the HoneyFitz Theatre. The weekend closes with storytelling from Balor O’Brien and a celebration of the winners of Lough Gur’s schools’ Samhain art competition.
