Natural Events Full 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.

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.

This was such a smooth experience. As someone who plans events and weather is always a concern, these guys were so willing to help and able to pivot often throughout the process to accommodate our team. Amazing group! Quick and seamless set up and tear down! 10/10 recommend!

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!

The best outdoor venue
We wanted a fully outdoor venue that reminded us of Irish summer festivals and this events space gave us that and more! The venue is stunning, nestle in the shehy mountains. You have beautiful mountain view, loads of woodland around. A rustic bar, a beautiful pond... just to name a few.. Jack is so friendly and accommodating. Our experience was all we could ask for and more! There is so much potential in this place. If you are looking for an alternative wedding, something a bit different, go check this venue out. You'll fall in love.

I have been using Jack's tents for theatrical events since 2021 and l am delighted with the quality of the tents and the excellent service. The large white tent is such a dramatic apparition in a field and beautiful inside. Jack and Tadgh are a delight to work with, so expert and courteous.

We had our Wedding at Natural Events
We had our Wedding at Natural Events in Augest 2022. We had about 200 people. And it was fantastic! Jack suggested a fantastic catering company along with other companies we could hire furniture, glasses etc from. He looked after the lighting and sound system and was very helpful with setup and coordinating. There are quite a few nice locations on the property for photos and for the ceremony (hazel woods, pond, little outdoor amphitheater, stone circle and standing stones)

Birthday Party with Stretch Tents Ireland
Excellent service from a very experienced and customer focused Jack Smiles. We were so pleased we went with the stretch tent rather than marquee. It looks great and helped the dynamics of what turned out to be a brilliant party.
