There was no re-enactment event here.  Bunratty Castle is an Irish castle with its interior restored to circa 1650.  Some of the interior, however, may provide ideas for re-enactment accessories.  Bunratty Castle is a tourist attraction, complete with rebuilt Irish village, set around 1890, and souvenir shops, pub and parking lot, very early 21st century.  It's near Shannon Airport in western Ireland.
