Yes! We actively encourage it. Our tour guides are passionate about history and love it when visitors ask questions.
We recommend wearing warm clothing, particularly during the colder months. Flat shoes are also preferable.
We hope so! Our tours are intended to be informative and fun. Our tour guides are able to cater tours to each individual group, so whether you’re a group of history buffs, or are just interested in a fun day out, we’ll be able to meet your needs.
A lovely historic building in the middle of Lifford. The place also caters for private parties for young and old. The parties are great – actors take the visitors around the building and down into the basement cellars giving them a historic tour. Really very good and great value for money.

An amazing building & fascinating tour. The cells are recreated incredibly vividly and detailed, I would highly recommend. The cafe offers lovely food priced very reasonably, special mention for the absolutely delicious cappuccino I happily consumed! The staff were local and could not have been friendlier. A very enjoyable afternoon!

I accompanied an organised trip to Lifford Old Courthouse. We had a great time. On our arrival we were served tea/coffee & scones (gorgeous) which had been pre ordered, before embarking on the tour. A number of my group had difficulties standing, so chairs were provided. It was very entertaining all thanks to our guides. Before leaving we had soup and a selection of freshly made sandwiches, all was lovely.
