SUMMARY:Who Shot Queen Medb?
DESCRIPTION:Who Shot Queen Medb?\nThe story of the Táin Bó Cuailnge & Cruachán Aí.\nThursday 29th October\, The Dock Arts Centre\,\nCarrick on Shannon\,  N41T2X2 @8pm\n\nWhy not leave Netflix aside and journey back in time to the prehistoric Iron Age to share in an evening of storytelling recounting some of the oldest tales in Ireland. Hear firsthand about the origins of Queen Medb and her great cattle raid to Ulster\, which features a host of legendary characters such as the boy hero Cúchulainn\, the Connacht warrior Fráoch and immortals of the Otherworld including the vengeful Macha and the formidable battle goddess\, Mórrígán\, who dwells in Oweynagat\, the Cave of Cruachán\, Ireland’s reputed ‘Gate to Hell’. \nThe genesis for this event came about from a variety of storytelling events\, particularly pertaining to Queen Medb\, provided at various events and festivals in Co. Roscommon over the years\nThis inspired us to expand the concept into a full evening of storytelling\, which culminated in the delivery of ‘Who Shot Queen Medb?’\, which took place in the Roscommon Arts Centre in August 2025. The positive feedback obtained from this event has inspired us to continue the project and bring it to a wider audience and share these wonderful tales throughout the country. \nFor further information and to book your tickets\, visit the theatre website site HERE\n

SUMMARY:Rathcroghan Conference 2026: Archaeology Above & Below

The purpose of this conference is to create a forum for discussion between communities and individuals who wish to interpret the story of the landscapes that we inhabit.

This year\, we will see contributions from places such as Galway\, Meath\, Longford\, Sligo\, Mayo and its islands\, & Roscommon\, as well as research provided by the Trinity College Dublin\, the Farming Rathcroghan project\, National Monuments Service\, the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Geopark\, Tribes of Uí Maine Y-DNA Project\, University of Galway\, amongst others. \nOur fieldtrip this year\, on the afternoon of 22nd November\, will be a wonderful and insightful exploration of the jewels of Roscommon town\, including a visit to the Roscommon County Museum. This will be led by our great friend Marian Harlow\, of the Co. Roscommon Historical & Archaeological Society. \nWe are delighted to welcome our keynote speaker for the Christy Lawless Memorial Lecture\, the tireless field archaeologist Michael Gibbons\, who will bring us to Killary Harbour in western Connacht\, to explore this most dramatic of places on the Irish coast.
