Step into a luminous world of renewal and restoration at Dromoland Castle. Set within the magnificent Brian Boru Hall, Spring Awakening is a 90-minute fully immersive experience of sound, live music, and transformative light, designed to prepare you for the season ahead.
As we approach the spring equinox, this experience invites you to reset your body, mind, and spirit. Lie back on soft mattresses, pillows, and blankets, with heated eye masks gently cradling your eyes, as the space comes alive in a carefully curated performance that reflects the castle’s timeless beauty.
Guided by sound artist Fiona Guiheen, the hall resonates with the gentle vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and voice, releasing tension and guiding you into deep inner calm. Internationally acclaimed harpist Aisling Lyons performs live, weaving expressive and delicate harp melodies through the soundscape, adding warmth, emotional depth, and a sense of presence.
A breathtaking light installation transforms the hall into a shimmering, immersive environment, moving in harmony with the music to create a fully enveloping sensory journey.
