Luxury Laois period house to host unique fireside musical evenings

‘Songs by the fire’; A Magical Evening of Campfire Music’ is a series of upcoming events at ‘Fitz of Inch’, a pre Victorian property in Stradbally.

Musicians including French Musician Alex Orel, together with Kerry Ann Gleeson from Tipperary will wow guests with a unique brand of soulful guitar sonics while they relax and revel in the fabulous surroundings.

A roaring campfire adds to the charming ambience and guests can bring their own refreshments and snacks to enjoy.

Managing Director of ‘Fitz of Inch’, Michael Fitzpatrick says the charming property, on the banks of the River Stradbally lends itself to hosting groups of people and the Campfire Musical evenings are just an example of a host of events being planned over the next few months.

“We have launched some new events that have really caught the imagination of the public -One of these is ‘Songs By The Fire-A Magical evening of Campfire Music’ which we hold on selected Friday nights. People love these casual, cosy and convivial evenings where they can relax and kick back after a week’s work. They love the fact that they can come here, soak up the atmosphere of the property, bring their own drinks and snacks and relax in a lovely setting, with good music, good friends and good craic”.

“We have some excellent up and coming musicians in attendance over the next few weeks and months and these musical evenings are set to grow and grow.  It’s that little bit different and people really like that,” says Michael.  

“Nature has been bountiful to ‘Fitz of Inch’ and we have the beauty of the Stradbally River running in front of the property which is a fabulous backdrop and one which our guests absolutely love. We have acres of greenery and the wider country of Laois itself is a revelation for people who enjoy the outdoors. Laois really is a hidden gem, we have so much going for us in this county. We are near enough to everything, extremely accessible but away from the hustle and bustle of the big centres and people love that. People tell us that ‘Fitz of Inch’ embodies the spirit of Co Laois - an escape, a retreat, a haven,” he said. 

So, in the spirit of age-old tradition, gather some friends together for an immersive evening of wonderful music around a crackling campfire and immerse yourselves in the warmth of its glow while delighting in the pleasures of music, food and drink in good company.  Don’t forget the marshmallows for toasting. 

‘Songs by the Fire’, A Magical Evening Of Campfire Music’ takes place on Friday, August 11 and Friday, August 25. 

Tickets €15 per person. Adults only. Bring your own refreshments and snacks.
