We were looking for a specific type of Art to celebrate a special anniversary, the gallery/shop has an eclectic mix of Art, Pottery, Sculpture and occasional pieces of jewelry. By far however the experience was made better by the lovely Agnes who hosted us and we could have chatted to her for hours, what a lovely and engaging, friendly lady. We found what we were looking for and would return again.

This is a really beautiful shop/gallery showcasing wonderful Irish arts and crafts.

The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful but is not a pushy salesman.

The arts and crafts are beautifully displayed and there is something there for everyone in every price range.

If visiting Adare I would strongly recommend a visit to this shop

Draiocht was recommended in our guidebook and I'm so glad we popped in. We met Agnes and Andrew and fell in love with a bronze hare that is now gracing our home and garnering nuzzles from our felines. We are especially sad that we missed the art competition, but expect we'll be back for one in the future. We are glad to have the hare as a treasure from this trip.

You absolutely must stop into this incredible art gallery! Impeccably curated by Andrew, this store celebrates the best in Irish art with a huge variety of artists, styles, sizes, and mediums... water colors, oil paintings, ceramics and sculpture and prices from 50 euros to 5,000... If you care about supporting local artists and economy this is the place to visit. Why come to Ireland and buy crap made in China? Come here for some Celtic magic and find something as eternal as art.

Really a great gallery in a small town on our way to southern Ireland. The gentleman that seemed to own the shop was very nice, and so nice to talk to. We really had fun chatting and learning about the town and surrounding areas. He gave us a few great ideas for lunch and he was spot on!

The shop had a lot of really nice art pieces, as well as other local items for sale. We ended up buying multiple things as it was such a nice environment to shop in.

Lastly, the shop owner really hooked us up and taught us all about the sales tax exemption for non EU citizens – THANK YOU SIR!

We will hunt this shop out on our next trip to Ireland.

Gorgeous pieces. What's really nice is that there are items in all pricepoints. Also, there is a great range of different types of art. We bought a lovely fused glass piece.

We stopped in for a quick look and to get in out of the rain and what a great find! The gallery is small but filled with wonderful treasures of ceramics, pottery, painting, etc. all from local artists. You can feel the love of art from the moment you walk in and the pure love the owner and shop keeper have for the art and the artists they represent. Needless to say, we did not leave empty handed. The translation for the gallery name is "magic" and it suits it perfectly

This was our second trip to Ireland and both times we stopped here. The first time we visited we met a wonderful lady named Agnes and this time around we met Andrew. Such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the artwork the sell and so easy and enjoyable to talk to. If in town you really should stop in at take a look. I know we will be back again our next trip!

I had been on the lookout for a teapot from Ireland to bring back home. I found the perfect one here--- handmade by an artist. Andrew is very helpful and this is a small gallery that is definitely worth a visit.
