Ceilí in the Kitchen

Origins of the Show

In the olden days, a Céilí or seisiún in an Irish kitchen, was a unique celebration often hosted in Irish homes the evening prior to an emigrant's departure from rural Ireland to the United States.

Usually hosted by the emigrant's parents, this celebration, was attended by kinfolk and neighbours and featured the liberal consumption of food and drink, and exhibited a seemingly incongruous mixture of grief and gaity, expressed in lamentations, music, singing and dancing.

Great idea for our last night in Ireland

"Flying out of Shannon next morning, this was a perfect way to spend our last evening. The dancing and music were great, storytelling was interesting. A couple of good sports were chosen to dance with the ladies on stage. Very entertaining. Lamb stew was very tender. White and red wine served with meal"
Sheeri

Thoroughly enjoyed this dinner & show

"We had a marvelous time at this show! The dancers, musicians, singers and host were all amazing. We have been to dinner entertainment shows in Ireland on a previous trip and this show was our favorite.
The food was actually better than we were expecting. They offered a vegetarian option which was helpful.
The glass of Irish cream or mead upon arrival was a nice touch."
Debbie, Arizona.
