Hidden Hearth Festival 2026

October 9th, 10th, 11th

Community is the Medicine of our Time.

Hidden Hearth returns to Carlow for three days of music, movement, ideas and connection in the woodlands of Lisnavagh House.

A sober, land-based gathering rooted in presence, creativity, community and the land - an alternative kind of festival where the focus is on how we come together.

Mission

We wish to reawaken the remembrance of our interconnectedness with the natural world by reminding people that we, humans, are nature - not separate from it. Through multiple modes of the arts we will inspire collective and creative care for our planet, global network and local communities.

Vision

For us, as humans to remember and create space for our innate regenerative and creative capacity as an extension of the Earth. We envision a world where we respect and care for the wellbeing of all life. A world that lives in reciprocity with the elements and ecosystem. A world in which the sacredness of all life is known and celebrated.

Hidden Hearth 2023

2023 was first iteration of Hidden Hearth, following our inaugural event that happened in 2022 which was called the Lisnavagh Wellness Festival.

Hidden Hearth was described by many near and dear artists and creatives as their favourite festival they had ever been to.

We can only hope that we conitnue to listen to the entity that is the festiival, and the magic that gathered us all together last year as well as the seeds we planted will grow and expand as we do as a festival.
