We regret to announce that Coláiste na nGael are no longer organising Irish language events

Irish Language Courses have been orgaanised at Knuston Hall in Northants in recent years.

Knuston Hall is a large and attractive 18th Century house in a country setting. The main rail line from London to Nottingham, Leicester, Derby and Sheffield is just 6 km away (at Wellingborough). An hourly bus stops directly outside Knuston Hall.

This is a residential centre. Accommodation is ensuite and meals are excellent. There is also a licensed bar. Staying in an Irish-speaking environment is a friendly and supportive way to improve your language skills.
