Drimnagh Castle (www.drimnaghcastle.org

consists of a great hall, undercroft, tower, 17thc formal gardens and is surrounded by a moat.
There’s medieval insignia, wood and stone carvings, arches and vaults, bridge,
folly, decorative tiles, ducks, trees, hedges, herbal plants, flowers and the
resident ghost, Eleanora,
Public transport: Buses 18, 151 and 56A stop directly
outside the castle. Buses 77A and 27 stop a 5 minute walk away (Eleanora pub).
The redline Luas stops at Bluebell and Kylemore each about a 10 minute walk
away.
There will be a picnic from 4PM. This will be a chicken
paella with rice, chorizo, peppers, onions and peas cooked on a large pan over
a wood fire. A small charge will be made to cover the cost of the food.
New people come along almost every week so don't be shy
about introducing yourself. It's a nice
friendly gathering and you'll get know us socially at the end of the sketching.
You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.
