Visiting the factory

[timwise]

Hello everyone,

Next year I will be taking a bucket list trip, landing in Dublin on May 13, thence on to Edinburg on May 21, then to Bayeux France on May 24, and the rounding out the trip in the highlands, staying at Inverness on May 29 and returning to Newark on June 1.  On May 18 and 19 my plan, such as it is, is to drive from Dublin southwest and see that portion of Ireland before returning the following day.  I know that the factory offers a tour/miniature painting class through travelocity/viator.  Would it be easier for Mithril if I simply showed up and did the next available class?  I ask simply because I have no other ironclad plans, so I don't really know for certain when I will be reaching Macroom.  I was looking at using that weekend as a play it by ear exploration weekend.

My apologies if this was not the appropriate place to put this.  I am looking forward to all aspects of this trip, kind of getting to know my heritage better.

We do recommend prebooking a workshop but usually you can turn up and take part in one then. We are currently not open on Sundays and at this time I cannot state if that will change. I personally am only in the factory Mon to Fri so if you do wish to say hi to me personally then those dates are preferred. Otherwise you can just turn up. Driving from Dublin will takes about 3 and a half hours approximately. You should avoid the bypass beyond macroom or you will be stuck on it until you hit the outskirts of Killarney. We are on the old road so the bypass beyond Macroom misses us. Just turn back into Macroom and we are 15 minutes drive from there. There is a hotel and sevaral BnBs in Macroom you can stay in.

Hi Michael,

I will be there on Saturday the 18th.  Just not sure what other stops I am making on the way.

Thanks, Tim
