Costumes & Castles 

Live your fairytale dreams!
Lady Rebecca Fashions cordially invites you to join her on a week-long castle stay at Springfield Castle in County Limerick, Ireland from August 7-14, 2026.

We will be visiting beautiful locations in the West of Ireland and partaking in daily photoshoots, each with a different historical or fantasy theme. Locations include the Cliffs of Moher, Killarney National Park, Adare Manor, Muckross Abbey, Cobh, and more.

Enjoy an authentic Irish culinary experience at the castle and in local pubs and restaurants throughout your stay. Be regaled with fantastic tales by a seanachai (storyteller), learn a traditional Irish dance while accompanied by live musicians, and travel back through time to feast at a Renaissance banquet. Learn a textile craft from a local artist, enjoy afternoon tea, and relax in the evenings with a spa night, a costume movie night, a murder mystery, and a bonfire. All meals at the castle and off site are included, as are all entertainments and entrance fees, along with all transportation once you arrive at Shannon airport until your flight home from Shannon.

To join the trip, or if you have any questions, please email [email protected], cc'ing [email protected]. A minimum of 10 guests are needed for the trip to go ahead.
Professional Photographer
​Kyla, aka @girl_with_the_blue_hair is our fabulous photographer. She is such a welcoming photographer to work with, is plus-size friendly, and is great at giving posing tips!
All Levels of Costumers Welcome!
We will be deciding on the photoshoot themes as a group, so that we can hopefully utilize costumes already in our closet for at least some of them.
