If you’re looking for a summer outing filled with heritage, architecture, and great company, Cultural Companions has a wonderful day planned in the historic town of Youghal. This upcoming event is designed especially for adults aged 50+ who enjoy culture, conversation, and exploring Ireland’s past at a relaxed pace.
A Full Afternoon of Guided History with Living Youghal
At 12:00 noon, the group will begin with a guided tour of the Youghal Clock Tower, one of the town’s most distinctive landmarks. This centuries‑old structure has served many roles throughout its long life, and the tour offers a chance to step inside, hear its stories, and appreciate its place in Youghal’s heritage.
After the first tour, everyone will gather for 1:00 PM lunch at The Red Store. Lunch is at an additional cost, but it’s a lovely opportunity to unwind, chat, and enjoy a meal together before the afternoon continues.
Following lunch, the group will make its way to the nearby St. Mary’s Collegiate Church for a second guided tour with Wayne from Living Youghal. As one of the oldest churches in Ireland still in continuous use, it offers a serene and atmospheric glimpse into centuries of craftsmanship, community, and faith.
Special Group Rate
Both guided tours are available at a special discounted group price of €10 per person, making this an excellent value for a full afternoon of history and exploration. Lunch is not included in the tour price.
A Perfect Outing for Culture Lovers
This event is ideal for anyone who enjoys learning something new, meeting like‑minded people, and discovering the stories behind Ireland’s historic places. Spaces are limited, so early booking is encouraged.
