The event will feature a thrilling re-enactment of the battle, as well as talks by prominent scholars and historians, including Dr. Ruan O’Donnell from the University of Limerick.

This event is a unique opportunity to witness history come to life as we recreate one of the most significant battles of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The re-enactment will be a thrilling spectacle, with authentic costumes, weapons, and battle tactics. You will witness firsthand the bravery and determination of the United Irishmen rebels as they fought to liberate their country from ‘Crown Forces’ rule.

In addition to the re-enactment, we are honoured to have several distinguished speakers who will give talks on the historical context and significance of the battle. Dr. Ruan O’Donnell is a renowned historian who has published extensively on Irish history, including the Irish Rebellion of 1798. His talk is not to be missed, and he will shed light on the historical significance of the battle and its impact on the struggle for Irish independence.

Corrections to Naming conventions:
For clarity, “The Crown Forces” and “United Irish Forces” are the correct names to reference the two sides in 1798.
