"Learn the secrets of the distinctive Irish bodhran."
Overview
The Roundstone shop is in the walls of an old Franciscan Monastery. Here you can see Ireland's oldest craft, the Bodhran drum being made, and regular talks and demonstrations are given. The first RiverDance stage drums were made here and are still on display in the Craftsman's Craftshop. There is an outdoor picnic area in a beautiful location alongside the bell tower by the water where the dolphins swim up to the wall in summer.
