When: 7 pm - 9 pm on Saturday 17th of August 2025
All ages are welcome but please note, we will be walking on uneven ground and along a boardwalk so this is not suitable for buggies. Anyone under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
What to bring:
- Warm and waterproof clothing
- Sturdy footwear such as hiking boots or welly boots
- Packed water and snacks
- Any medication you may need
- Binoculars and any other aids you might find useful
Bathroom Facilities: Please note that there are no toilet facilities on site. The nearby town of Kilbeggan is less than 8 minutes drive from the site with the option of a Centra/Circle K garage with facilities. However, we cannot guarantee that the toilet will be in working order.
Cancellation Note: Events may be cancelled on short notice if there are adverse weather conditions or County weather warnings in place. In the event that we do cancel an event on short notice, we will send an email to inform you as early as possible.
If you book tickets but realise you will be unable to attend the event, please let us know so we can make the ticket available for another person. This is very important!
