Masters of Tradition is six days of pure, traditional Irish music, performed in the library of the magnificent Bantry House, west of Cork. Performances are intimate, relatively informal and are delivered by some of the finest musicians from across the world. Loose yourself in the music or gaze out of the windows into the beautiful formal gardens (which you are free to explore during the interval).

Stunning gardens set on a mountainside overlooking the spa town of Merano (Meran). Found in an an area of Northern Italy relatively untouched by British tourists, the gardens are divided into four sections encompassing Mediterannean, water and forest themes and natural South Tyrolean landscapes (including vines and orchards). You can meander around quite happily all day and the cafe/restaurant sells excellent food and local wines. A wonderful day out and even our small children loved the atmosphere too.
