Price: €75 p/p : Welcome drinks, Slow cooked Pig-On-A-Spit luncheon, guided garden tour and Post-Feast Stories on “Father Figures!”

Join CRAICLY in the glorious June Blake’s Garden in Blessington, Wicklow on June 21st to celebrate Mid-Summer’s! We are hosting a seasonal celebration of “Father Figures” in the celebrated gardens and courtyard of June Blakes in Blessington. The day is also Father’s Day, which we are going to incorporate as our theme.

Over a long table Luncheon of Free Range Pig-On-A-Spit, we will enjoy a festive banquet lunch, hopefully and weather permitting, outdoors together with pre-drinks in the garden. Enjoy a garden tour from June, with time to relax and enjoy the restored courtyard of the Tinode Yard, enjoy the sights, smells and quiet corners of this celebrated family garden, with pathways and cobblestone and views of the Wicklow mountains.

June Blake’s Garden is a national treasure. This is a lovely way to relax and enjoy it for an afternoon into evening.

Please note that the garden is a showcase garden, a welcoming garden and a glorious garden - it is also one that is designed with aesthetics and horticulture in mind. It is not entirely suitable for young children, as there are also exposed water features throughout the design.

Dermot from WineTavern Farm, Wicklow will be roasting a Free-Range Pig-On-A-Spit which we will enjoy from a long table arrangement within the courtyard, or the Grinding House in case of Summer Showers. Pre-organised post feast stories on the subject of “Father Figures”
