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.
