Ballymore, Co. Westmeath
2 February 2026
Family friendly
On Monday 2nd February 2026 the Hill of Uisneach are celebrating the first stirrings of spring at the scared centre of Ireland. This Imbolc and St Brigid's Day, explore Uisneach with their guides stationed at key points on the hill, sharing stories.

Follow the ancient pathways, pause at story stations, and learn how this landscape has marked the turning of the year for thousands of years. Discover Brigid as goddess and saint, keeper of flame, protector of home, animals, and a symbol of new beginnings.

At the summit, gather around the intentions fire, where you will be invited to reflect, release what no longer serves you, and set a hope for the season ahead.

A gentle pilgrimage through myth, landscape, and light - marking the moment when winter loosens her grip and the land begins to wake.

We will then return to the visitor centre for refreshments and music around the fire.

All this is happening on Bank Holiday Monday the 2nd February 2026 at 11.00 am.
