The Sundew Festival in Daingaen is placing sustainability and biodiversity at the heart of its programme, inviting visitors and the community to reconnect with nature through a series of engaging, family-friendly events.
This year’s Sundew Festival in Daingean puts nature, creativity and community at the heart of a lively, family-friendly programme. Running from 12–14 June, the festival highlights the local landscape and biodiversity, alongside a strong mix of cultural and creative experiences. Events include a “Find the Sundew” walk on Friday, a guided Swift Walk with Offaly Biodiversity Officer Ricky Whelan on Saturday, and a “Biodiversity Through Microbes” session. Music and spoken word performances will take place on a barge along the canal, adding a unique riverside setting to the programme. The festival concludes with a fuel-free Festival Parade celebrating creativity, collaboration and community spirit.
