Lecture on the renovations of Knockelly Castle by owners

#### 11.02.2026, 17:45

Many of us love the home renovation programmes on television, but come and hear from a couple who undertook renovations on a grand scale.
Join IGS members Jeremy and Sybil Emmet-Booth as they share the story of Knockelly Castle Co Tipperary – its rich history, ongoing conservation, and plans for the future.
Jeremy will discuss the castle’s fascinating past and current restoration work, while Sybil, who professionally helps historic houses establish businesses, will explore how they’re ensuring Knockelly’s long-term survival through sustainable commercial activities. An engaging evening celebrating heritage, preservation, and the future of one remarkable home.
