The 2024 Edition
The Shaking Bog Festival returns to Enniskerry and the Glencree Valley with an inspiring programme celebrating art and nature.
This year’s festival endeavours to reawaken and illuminate our often forgotten connection to the natural world - to biodiversity, heritage and place, but also to our deepest impulse to belong, to nurture and to care. Over the course of two days a rich and hopefully inspiring tapestry of events will be on offer, including; readings, public interviews, concerts, talks, trails, workshops, film screenings and more.
Come and join us as we celebrate and nurture kinship with the natural world through artistic immersion, creative connection, thought provoking conversation, experiential learning, sensory awakening and more. This programme offers a feast for the senses and along with renowned nature experts it includes a rare opportunity to see world class artists in the most intimate of settings.
The Shaking Bog is about stepping away from everyday life to deepen our appreciation of the natural world so that we may move forwards, together, in hope.
We urge you to make the most of it - book your tickets in bundles, invite friends to come along and immerse yourselves in the alchemy that happens where art and nature meet.

the quick glimpse of gorse, the songs of Joseph Campbell, then off to the Reconciliation Centre..."
