Knockengorroch Longhouse

Knockengorroch Longhouse The Langwhan, a recreation of a medieval longhouse and hidden gem of the Knockengorroch World Ceilidh The atmosphere in the Longhouse cannot be re-created.

The Langwhan, Celtic Longhouse, is a hidden gem of the Knockengorroch world ceilidh festival and a focal point for the Celtic diaspora of this beautiful place. Top musicians from all genres gather and play solo or form new collaborations with others they may have only just met. Storytelling and singing foster an ambience of times long past. Audiences become participants in this journey to another

place in time. It has been lovingly built by volunteers over the years along a design by Simon Holmes, but is not finished! Our DIY camp in September each year is a chance to join a voluntary camp to work and celebrate in the Longhouse. Email [email protected] for more info.

Any profits made go to Global Music Exchange, Baka Beyond's charity to help indigenous Baka people.
