As you rise out of the Midlands - and feel the first savagery of the North West - that is where the Gyreum nestles. An 100ft wide wooden Christmas-pudding shaped ring fort, a green and discreet hobbit-like edifice overlooking Lough Arrow. It's aligned to 3 solar events pointing toward the megalithic cairns of Moytura, Carrowkeel and Queen Maeve's 'tomb' on top of Knocknarae.

We cater for groups

The building is perfect for retreats, theatre rehearsals, as a dance space, for yoga groups. Its perfect acoustics makes it ideal for choirs. We have catered for big troops of students - up to 45 sleeping over.
