Casadh an tSúgán - Turning of the Rope

CASADH AN tSÚGÁN / TURNING OF THE ROPE
Games and Heritage
Free event supported by Cork County Council Heritage
Facilitated by Sonia Caldwell and Will Bock

This is a fun day rediscovering the simple joy of old games that were an integral part of coming together for harvest time. Rope was made from all sorts of materials growing nearby like straw and hay and when stronger rope was needed fibres such as hemp and flax were relied on. Watch and join in from 11am-1pm while Will and Sonia prepare the ropes for the games from hay and flax and then come back for the afternoon of craic and competitions.

11am – 1pm Rope Making Demonstrations

2 – 5pm Rope Games – Tug of War competitions
