    Had a magical time learning about the history of Gaelic games, the cultural importance and the community spirit around it. It was heaps of fun trying the games for ourselves too. Coaches organised the sessions very well and I will definitely come back with a big group for another round!

    We did this as a work team building activity (most of us were visiting from outside of Ireland) and it was a lot of fun. Be warned though, they will have you running drills and participating regardless of what physical shape you're in (if you have signed the waiver)!! The staff there are friendly and make it a lot of fun.

    Really good fun. Well organized and perfect for our stag group. Not all sporty but everyone got involved and worked really well. Sweated out the night before and worked up a thirst for the rest of the day. It is a full on work out. Lots of running. They provide water and have good changing facilities.

    I have a company that organises trips for Spanish students and every year I bring a group to try the Gaelic experience. It can't be better. It's always one of the best memories of the teenagers on my groups. Totally recommend.

    We had a BLAST and learned so much too! Stephen was a great instructor and added in a lot of interesting facts about the history and culture of the games. Would recommend this to any group of any age!! 10/10 and a highlight of our Ireland road trip!

    Cormac and his team are amazing. Not only do they do an excellent job teaching the basics of Gaelic games in a way that allow people to understand and then participate in each sport, they help participants understand the cultural significance of Gaelic games to the people of Ireland. Amazing experience!

    We had such a fun time! We had never heard of the sports of Gaelic football & Hurling. It was so cool to learn and play these awesome sports. Our kids of 9 & 11 enjoyed it immensely. Fun for all ages!

    Experienced Gaelic Games with my classmates in Belfast, and we had the best time. Such a interesting thing to learn about, and then super fun way to get involved. Our coaches were so funny and so kind, and made us all have a great time. Want to come back with all my friends and family!

  • 5/5 Joseph J. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely loved it here, organised a stag do for 12 of us to try out Gaelic Football, Hurling and Gaelic Handball, and it was such good fun. Perfect balance of learning the history, culture and passion of the games as well as trying it all out and sweating off the previous nights Guinness! Thanks so much!

    So fun learning/playing Gaelic games (handball, Gaelic football, hurling). The staff was great & so friendly. Would definitely recommend for your trip!

  • 5/5 Caroline S. 1 year ago on Google
    what a fantastic experience! i loved learning more about irish culture, especially in regards to the gaelic games. the company did a great job of introducing the sports and the importance they hold, as well as how clubs work within northern ireland. the games themselves were so much fun. we had a group of about 60 people, and had the time of our lives! friendships were broken and healed over these games. i grew closer to the people in my group as we bonded over beating our opponents. shoutout to cormac for being a fantastic host!

    Great half-day experience, we learned about the gaelic game culture in Ireland and got a work-out playing three different games. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Nicholas C. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here for a stag party and it was truly an incredible experience. Focus was always on leaving and never on being more or less fit or capable, and I loved the games as well. The staff were fantastic and helpful.

  • 5/5 Sophie V. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely recommend it!! We went with my boyfriend and my sister and we had an awesome time. The staff was so kind and thoughtful, the sports really fun and interesting!! Such a great cultural activity 💚🤍🧡

    This is a full hearted recomendation. This workshop is such a wonderful way to learn about Ireland's unique culture and Identity. The organizers and constructors were the loveliest people, making sure that everybody was included and having a good time. I went there all by myself and was integrated inmediately in the group. The sports were really fascinating and seemed more wholesome to me than other sports: strength, balance and coordonation are being trained. Don't miss this when im Dublin!

  • 5/5 Kati P. 7 years ago on Google
    Totally loved it! Great fun and sporty session, definitely recommend this activity. You get a nice glimpse of local sports culture, intriguying information and actually get to play these games too. I was a bit nervous on going alone, but ended up having absolutely great craic with a bunch of stag party lads, and super friendly staff. Thanks a million!

    Just brilliant! Went here with a stag group and had a great time. If you're considering doing the Gaelic Games experience, just do it, you won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Cian Michael Q. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredible experience. Our company is mostly Italian and the Irish in the office had been dying to show them our games and it was done perfectly through the team at Experience Gaelic Games. We got a brief history of the sport and rules and then tried our hand at all 4 of the Gaelic Games.

  • 5/5 Simba T. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best experiences you can get while visiting Dublin. The team here are very professional and very knowledgeable regarding the history of Irish sports which enhanced the experience. We got some lessons on how to play some of the games and just had an awesome day of fun. Whenever I visit the country again I would definitely like to visit the place again. It was completely worth it. You guys are amazing.
