Blackstairs Eco Trails have recently announced details of “Beneath the Canopy,” a unique guided walking experience in collaboration with acclaimed actor Rachel Pilkington. The talk takes place on Sunday, September 13th at their premises, in the heart of the Blackstairs Mountains and close to the village of Borris.

“Beneath the Canopy” invites participants to step away from the pace of everyday life and reconnect with nature through a mindful and immersive afternoon of walking, reflection, literature and conversation. During the event, guests will journey around Blackstairs Eco Trails, pausing beneath native Irish trees to enjoy carefully selected readings, poetry and reflections presented by Rachel Pilkington. Themes explored throughout the walk will include nature, belonging, renewal, heritage and our connection to the natural world.

Date: September 13
Time: 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm
