Description

Natural Events is a bespoke venue and we understand that every event is unique, this is why we have created a number of areas that can be tailored to suit your needs. With over 20 years of festival experience and a passion for outdoor events, this new venue is a life long dream come true and we can't wait to share it with you. The Twisted Willow is our onsite bar area. We have our own professional bar staff that can cater for you or we would recommend Foxglove Cocktails that provide mobile cocktails service with their own handmade mixers. The Hazel Woods- The hazel wood is a beautiful area of old woodland that changes with the season offering carpets of bluebells in the spring leafy shade throw out the summer and amazing autumnal colours coming into winter.The woods offer a lovely location for wedding ceremonies and pictures. The amphitheatre and communal fire place are situated on the bank of our pond offering lovely views of the site and the mountains above. There are a number of communal fire places on site and we can supply fire wood as required. Our work in the festival industry means that we have a large stock of equipment in house to offer. This coupled with our extensive contacts in the events industry means we can offer a complete wedding package from start to finish. We also have a local wedding and events planner who can put everything together for you to make sure your wedding or event goes as smoothly as can be.

Stunning venue
The most beautiful and magical place. The space is versatile, green, and spacious. The owners can make your vision come to life. it's a must see with all they have to offer- a pond, mountain views, an outdoor bar, BBQ area, and so much more. It's breath-taking and exactly what you want for an outdoor wedding!

Amazing eco friendly venue in a heart of West Cork
I had a pleasure of working twice at this stunning eco friendly venue and cannot wait to come back for more! Jack and Naz are amazing hosts, so professional and easy to communicate with. The venue itself is a must, if you dreaming of a boho themed wedding. The photos can be taken at different sides of the venue (woods, by the water, even the bar section is such a beautiful spot for it), so you don’t even have to travel anywhere between ceremony and meal for it.
Response from the venue
Was a pressure to work along side you and look forward to doing it again in the future.

Love this place, but a little biased as I am a little bit invloved in it's creation which is ongoing, have been to several beautiful events held there, weddings, kids parties, music, well being... So much potential.. There's camping, compost toilets, lovely little woods, you have a dip in the mountain stream (of you're brave!), there a space to have a bar/bbq and lots more... Make an app and take a look to see if its what you might need for your special event.

I had the pleasure of visiting Jack & Naz at Natural Events recently to view their exclusive outdoor wedding venue, nestled in a stunning mountain range in West Cork. The site is the perfect choice for couples seeking an alternative to the usual ceremony venues. It's totally eco friendly with compositable toilets (which were surprisingly plush) and with many years of working in the festival industry they've considered everything to make sure your stay is totally high end. They have multiple area

Ireland’s first exclusively outdoor eco venue in a stunning location at the foot of the Sheehy mountains surrounded by beautiful trees and nature. The perfect place for an outdoor wedding.

An outdoor wedding venue like no other! Very well thought out. It has a bar made out of recycled materials, industrial looking compost toilets, amphitheatre, man made pond, few different areas to have the celebrations, and more! They can supply stretch tent covers, sound and light equipment, decor... Great service all throughout.

Happy couple married in June

Feel the love...we certainly did !!!
We wanted to have a relaxed day in beautiful surroundings which is what we got at Natural Events and more...the location is just stunning. Lovely woodland area, great camping in the meadow and even an auditorium from which to enjoy a view of the lake! This is where we chose to have our ceremony as it just felt like a great space for our guests to gather around. There is so much I can say about our special day. It really was just that. Jack recommended local caterers for the food and there was such a great set up in the stretch tent where we sat down to some great local food. The bar area was very cool as well. We would highly recommend this as a venue as it is certainly a place to remember both for its location in an area of natural beauty and the professional service received from Jack and the team at Natural Events. Thank you all of you for making our day so awesome!
