Songs of the Sea

Spend some time in the 16th century tower listening to music by candlelight. Join Gordon and Liz as we sing, play and tell stories about the sea (with other bodies of water thrown in for diversity😉)

This event takes place in the upper hearth room where the scenes of sea, mythical creatures, sailing and fishing will enchant you as we make a joyful noise together! We hope our visitors will sing along, offer up a story or song, and musicians are welcome (smallish instruments only).

Feeling shy or you don’t do music? No problem- that is what we are here to do. No pressure to join in, but anyone can sing (or chant) the chorus of a sea-shanty so we hope to inspire you to participate!

Music is from all over the world, and across multiple centuries- we are neither time nor place-bound in this event, simply inspired by water and the sea-faring travels of mankind through the ages. You might hear a story about Wexford shoals, 17th century pirates, St. Brendans Voyage or the Banana Boat Song!

All events take place from 7-8:30 pm. Guests will need to climb the tower steps to the third floor sea-faring hearth room with railings on each side. You may stop for a rest at any floor. Sigginstown Castle does not provide alcohol, but various soft and hot drinks will be available in tankards so you can whet your whistle!

Make a day or evening of it! Come for a late tour (3:30-5 pm - see separate tour event) and have dinner before or after at Meylers Millhouse bar, only 1 mile down the road.

This event requires a minimum of 6 people to occur, and individual tickets are fine. So please gather your friends and relations to ensure your event will happen! Event is suitable for children ages 8+,

If you would like a private event for groups of 6 or more on other dates, please contact us to book.
