Entrance to the castle and grounds is 6€ for an adult with some good reductions for seniors/students and children.
Entertainment during the banquet is generally made up of traditionnal music and readings of poetry.
For the banquet you must reserve beforehand and costs upward of 54€ per adult, food and entertainment included. There are 2 sittings every day during the season at 17.30 and 20.45 Mon to Sat. Sun sittings are at slightly different times.
Also exists a "traditionnal Irish evening" of which there are further details on the site below.
TIP - By booking online you can get at least 10€ off the listed prices.

All along the road, you will se these lovely stone walls with gates leading to the greenest of fields. If you are going to go wander in the fields, please ensure that you close the gates behind you again.

Now if this is not extremely clever, then I do not know. As you come from the castle you will notice this little ruin where the road splits, and they have turned it into a "bilboard". Absolutely fab!!!

The view from the castle over the Galway bay is really fantastic and has an almost eary feeling about it, in the late afternoon.

A lovely castle appeared in front of us as we drove down the little lane (I am sure they call it a road in these area's) which is just one of those fantastic photographic opportunities with the tiny, almost fairy-tale castle standing out on a little jut of land surrounded by the shores of galway bay.
You can visit the castle for a few euros, and if you have the time and are staying over in the area, you can indulge in a 'medieval banquet' .

the castle at kinvarra is one of those 'iconic' photograph opportunities with the tiny, almost fairy-tale castle standing out on a little jut of land surrounded by the shores of galway bay.
you can visit the castle for a few euros, or indulge in a 'medieval banquet' on a summer evening.
the look of the castle always reminds me of the castle featured in the film 'monty python and the holy grail' where the french have taken over a castle, and features an increasingly bewildering array of daft insults.

You normally get in all sorts of trouble with Big G for wrinting about hookers on VT, but here it refers to the local type of sailing boat.
A couple of characters offer trips from Kinvarra harbour from 25 euro per person for 2 hours. Larger groups get some reduction.
P.s Don't enquire too closely where the main mast of the sailing ship was obtained from - it looks suspiciously life a Telegraph pole that has mysteriously disappeared from the possession of Telecom Ireland.

I was mightily impressed by this place in the summer of 2005. We were going to eat at the hotel, but this place was a little cheaper, more informal, and had a cracking view out over Galway bay.
It used to be a good pub with a rather nice restaurant attached. these days it is other way round. you can take you meal in the semi-formal restaurant, although i found the bar area a far more convivial area to enjoy some very good quality, but unpretentious food.
Favorite Dish: The steaks, made from prime irish beef, were some of the best i have eaten in a long,long time
