A ‘Session’ (in Gaelic ‘Seisún’, pronounced ‘sesh-oon’), is a traditional Irish gathering of musicians, dancers, poets and storytellers. It is always an informal, lively and colourful event. A group of artists in Renvyle have put a new twist on the old concept and added drama to their ‘Seisún’. Under the guidance of Ireland’s largest group dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Irish traditional music, this show makes the most of Irish music, dance and storytelling to present a moving account of how the Great Famine had a devastating effect on the West of Ireland. The second half of the show requires some audience participation and you will be invited to learn and join in Irish folk dances. If you can play a tune or sing a song, in the spirit of a true Seisún, you will be welcome to take the floor. Seisún is performed every Tuesday night throughout July and August in the Teach Ceoil (House of Music) in Renvyle in Connemara, county Galway.

    Not really in Galway.

    We did not realize it was 90 miles outside of Galway. Why would you advertise it is in Galway when it is so far away? Needless to say we did not make it.

    Response from the operator: Hi Marie. We are sorry you missed this amazing experience. We do highlight in the product detail and the ticket/voucher info that this tour takes place 90 mins drive from Galway city and own transport is required to this meet point. Such a pity you missed this detail as al, our other clients have so enjoyed this traditional Irish experience.

    Long drive but nice surprise

    This wasn’t in Galway city, this was an hour and a half away at a community center. However, we had an amazing time. The village accepted everyone in and I could not tell who was a tourist and who was a visitor. It was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday in Ireland.

    Irish traditional music, song & dance. Galway. Guided. 2 hours.: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galway.

    How much does Irish traditional music, song & dance. Galway. Guided. 2 hours. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $41 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galway usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Irish traditional music, song & dance. Galway. Guided. 2 hours. take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Galway is not rushed.

    Is Irish traditional music, song & dance. Galway. Guided. 2 hours. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Galway, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Irish traditional music, song & dance. Galway. Guided. 2 hours.?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Irish traditional music, song & dance. Galway. Guided. 2 hours. suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Irish traditional music, song & dance. Galway. Guided. 2 hours.?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Galway can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Galway and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Irish traditional music, song & dance. Galway. Guided. 2 hours. start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Galway within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Galway?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Galway experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway, Galway to Aran Islands Inisheer, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher Day Tour, Galway to Cliffs of Moher, Aillwee Cave & Dunguaire Castle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Galway?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Galway?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Irish traditional music, song & dance. Galway. Guided. 2 hours.?

    +

    Included: Entrance ticket to an evening of traditional Irish music, song & dance. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
