April 8-10: The Irish centenary package at Ashford Castle in Cong, Co Mayo (from €1,775 based on two people sharing) includes lectures on life in Ireland a century ago by broadcasters David McCullagh and Myles Dungan, as well as conservation expert Turtle Bunbury. The price includes two nights in a Corrib lake view room, full breakfast each morning, and a five course dinner on one evening in the elegant George V dining room. With suppliers like Dooncastle Oysters, Achill Island Lamb, Skeaghanore Duck and Andarl Farm pork, you’ll eat like the king the room is named for. See ashfordcastle.com for details.
