Bantry House is one of the finest historic houses in Ireland and remains in the ownership of the Shelswell-White family, descendants of the 1st Earl of Bantry.
Each June and July, the Bantry House library plays host to chamber music performances in the intimate settings for which that music was written as part of the West Cork Chamber Music Festival. Then in August, this gorgeous space thrums with the rhythms of traditional music when the Masters of Tradition festival returns.
Don't miss the candle-lit concerts in the library which are a highlight of both festival calendars, and the garden and loggia events which form part of the West Cork Literary Festival.
Whichever event you are attending, take time to step outdoors and enjoy glorious views across Bantry Bay, as you mingle with your fellow concert-goers.
Guided Bantry House tours are available.
