If you are unfamiliar with the weeks layout, there are five levels (Beginners, Beginners 1, Intermediate lower, Intermediate upper and Advanced) available to adult learners, with four one hour lessons to attend each day with breaks in between, with traditional entertainment to be seen and heard at lunch time in the reception area and in the theatre everyday at break times.
Due to increased demand, early booking for the language course is advised. This can be done here; https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/scoil-samhraidh-mhic-reachtain-2018-mccracken-summer-school-2018-tickets-43657998248
The choice is offered to partake one hour singing workshops with Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhríde which take place from 1.30pm – 4pm (with break in between) every afternoon, or stay in your language class. We welcome Gearóid and Pádraig Ó Dubháin (Devane Brothers) back this year to offer sean-nós dancing workshops to everyone on Thursday 26th and Friday 27th of July at 4pm.
