Explore the unique beauty of Irelands most fascinating house Hidden inside a secluded Irish valley lies Luggala an exquisite eighteenth-century house at the centre of a 5 000-acre estate. In 1937 Ernest Guinness presented Luggala to his youngest daughter Oonagh
- one of the three famous Golden Guinness Girls
- following her marriage to the fourth Baron Oranmore & Browne. Oonagh described Luggala as the most decorative honey pot in Ireland & made it the centre of a dazzling social world that included peers painters & poets journalists & junkies scholars & socialites. In the late 1960s she passed the estate to her son the Hon Garech Browne founder of Claddagh Records who has not only maintained but surpassed his mothers gifts both for hospitality & for bringing together a wide range of creative talents. Luggala Days celebrates both the unique beauty of this place & the many celebrated names irresistibly drawn there from writers like Brendan Behan Robert Lowell Seamus Heaney & Ted Hughes to actors & directors such as John Hurt Daniel Day-Lewis & John Boorman & above all musicians including The Chieftains Mick Jagger & Marianne Faithfull Bono & Michael Jackson. All of them have succumbed to the enchantment of days passed at Luggala.
