'IRELAND RETOLD...'

CLAÍOMH (meaning 'sword' in the Gaelic) is a 'living history' group based in Ireland which re-creates a live and authentic image of medieval Ireland's past. The aspiration of the group is to spread awareness of Ireland's rich resources of Medieval & Early Modern history and archaeology through means of entertaining battle demonstrations, craft displays and palatable but informative talks with the aid of museum-quality reconstructions.
