IRELAND’S largest private collection of vintage machinery will be on display throughout Bunratty Castle and Folk Park on September 22, when the popular visitor attraction hosts its annual Traditional Harvest Day to bring Ireland of old to life.
The Talbot Collection was bequeathed to the tourist attraction for permanent display throughout the 26-acre folk park and features over 50 items of machinery from ploughs to hay rakes and from traditional threshing machines to turnip and mangel seeders.
Rural Irish life and traditions from over a century ago will be showcased as part of Bunratty’s Traditional Harvest Day, which also features crafts demonstrations, and dancers, musicians, storytellers, and performers as well as a working farm with many different breeds of indigenous Irish species.
