Courses

February 6, 2014 by Dunmanus

Learn something new and connect with the landscape, seas, and wonderful food culture you’ll find along the Sheep’s Head Way

In the Studio: Traditional skills are alive and well here, and when you take a letter-cutting or a stone-carving course, you’ll be working with materials drawn from the landscape of the Sheep’s Head peninsula.

Knitting and felt-making courses can regularly be found on our events calendar. Art courses – encouraging you to look more closely at, and work with the landscape – are available too.

In Workshops: The festivals for which Bantry is famous offer you wonderful opportunities to learn new skills at music and writing workshops led by practitioners who excel in their fields.

Out on the Water: Take up sailing courses with Carbery Sailing. All courses are approved by the Royal Yachting Association, and there are three beautiful bays to explore around the West Cork peninsulas. Dinghy sailing on Bantry Bay is another great option for water lovers!

In the Moment: Yoga courses on the Sheep’s Head peninsula and in the Mealagh Valley teach you mindfulness and an appreciation of the beautiful world around here along the Sheep’s Head Way.
