Welcome to The Celtic Way: Celebrating Irish Culture in Melbourne

At The Celtic Way, we love bringing people together to celebrate the rich tapestry of Irish heritage. From pre-tour dinners that capture the spirit of Ireland to Irish language classes that explore the beauty of Gaelic, our events are all about connection, culture, and community.

Whether you’re a long-time lover of Irish traditions or just beginning to explore your roots, our gatherings offer something special for everyone. We are passionate about creating opportunities for people in Melbourne to connect with Irish culture in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

Join Us for Our Irish Language Socials

After the success of our first Irish Language Socials at The Celtic Club, we’re thrilled to make these socials a regular event! Starting from February 25th, The Celtic Way will be hosting more Language Socials at Jimmy O’Neills Whiskey & Alehouse (St Kilda) on the first and last Tuesday of each month from 6:30 pm.

These gatherings are for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or a fluent speaker and are a fantastic opportunity to practice Irish in a relaxed and friendly setting. You’ll meet like-minded people, make some friends, enjoy great conversations, learn a cúpla focal (a few words) and have some craic (fun) along the way! We can’t wait to meet you!

Testimonial

I recently moved to Melbourne and was looking for a way to connect to other Irish people and practise my cúpla focail (couple of words). Everyone was incredibly friendly and I felt it was a lovely atmosphere for learning Irish and celebrating our culture. Steph is a fantastic facilitator, providing worksheets to help us all get to know each other and improve our Irish speaking skills.

The Irish language socials are super fun and engaging. From worksheets to games, Steph provides the opportunity to learn new phrases and helpful vocabulary. Everyone there has a broad range of abilities, making it perfect for complete beginners, fluent speakers, and everyone in between to have a bit of comhra (conversation) and craic (fun).

I felt so at home, surrounded by friendly people who I could bond with instantly due to our connections to the Emerald Isle. The event was so well organised. So as well as learning some Irish words I also met some wonderful people and enjoyed myself so much.
