Top Galway Classes & Workshops

Absolutely incredible! Stephanie was a wonderful, welcoming host and gave us a great tour of the property. She is incredibly talented and was so helpful in teaching me how to do cable patterns as a beginner, all while sharing stories with us about Irish culture and farming. Stephanie was even kind enough to let us say hi to the horses at the end! This was an unforgettable experience and a highlight of our trip.

Our instructor Katie was both a brilliant dancer and instructor! She was encouraging, patient, fun and very welcoming!

I absolutely loved this, Tina put us all at ease and we just had good fun or craic as they say here. I would highly recommend and certainly don’t be put off focusing on “dancing” this is an experience not to be missed.

Fantastic experience! This is the stuff other tourists miss and it's shame. This is how you have an authentic cultural experience. We learned to play hurling and Gaelic football at a real club with real staff members. It was active and fun and informative and fantastic family bonding time! A wonderful departure from museums and churches. And there happened to be a hurling tournament that weekend, so we sat in a pub and watched the game with the locals and totally understood what was happening. We ran into our coach, Stephen, later on our trip on the streets of Galway, and it was like we were one of the locals, saying hello to a friend as we passed by. Love love loved it!

We did this last week while in Galway and it was such a great experience!! Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of great information about both Hurling and Gaelic football. We were in a group of about 12 people. Our guide was friendly and patient with those of us in the group that were clearly not athletic! It was the perfect amount of instruction and time to practice the skills in both sports. We highly recommend this activity to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the world of Gaelic sports!!

Stephanie is a highly personable, engaging and accomplished fiber artist and knitwear designer. I (Gen X) sought her out (because I love vacation knitting experiences!) and brought my niece (Gen Z) with me. This was our 3rd day driving in Ireland and the beginning of our experience in the Burren. We both loved being at her farm, and the review/discussion of aran stitches, fibers and old patterns. The custom sweaters she had on display were those she designed and embellished are amazing. We individually worked on two different stitch types that she picked for us based on this discussion. The environment and workspace were not only comfortable, but the view outside was picturesque. As knitters generally do, we also had our own knitting with us for show and tell which added to the fun. It was a wet, rainy afternoon and the tea and homemade snacks along with her dog sleeping in the corner chair made this perfect.Suggestions she made for other areas of interest (Burren Perfumery, Hazel Mountain Chocolates) to visit that afternoon due to weather constraints definitely enhanced our Burren experience.

That was a ton of fun! Lots of laughs and we really learned something about the history of Irish Dancing and even got a workout in

We booked the Irish Dancing Experience in Galway as part of a hen weekend and it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip! Sarah was an fantastic teacher. She made everyone feel welcome from the moment we arrived and struck the perfect balance between teaching us the basics and keeping the session fun and relaxed. If you're planning a hen party, group trip, or just looking for a fun activity in Galway, I couldn't recommend the Irish Dancing Experience highly enough. Thanks to Sarah for making it such a memorable part of our weekend!

This was the best time. My kids, my husband and I had a great time learning the sports. Joey was a great teacher and very patient. My kids said this was their favorite thing the whole trip!

Incredible knitting experience! Enjoyed discussing the history of Aran knitting as I tried out the various patterns of Aran knitting. Beautiful location and well worth the visit.

Aran knitting with Stephanie was fantastic. Her home and studio are beautiful, and the knitting lesson was fun and informative. Stephanie does a great job modifying the lesson to the learners skill and provides all patterns to keep practicing later. My husband- who doesn’t knit- enjoyed the location, the conversation, the delicious food, and reading Stephanie’s books.

Stephen was a wonderful trainer, explaining the intricacies of G.A.A. while helping us have fun. We traveled with three young athletes and they had a blast learning Gaelic football and camogie! We were all laughing and playing together.

Super fun! Tina was amazing! A must do in Galway!

What an extraordinarily memorable and fun experience! Our instructor was so welcoming and talented. Even though my dancing was horrible, I couldn't have had a better time.

Instructor Agostina made it so fun and enjoyable! Our family has such a wonderful time and it was such a fun and special experience! Would definitely recommend!

This was such a fun and unique experience! The whole family enjoyed learning and dancing, and the instruction was excellent and easy to follow.
