Ardnaculla Summer School, 15 - 17th May, 2026
A community and ecology festival promoting learning, connection and regeneration. Join us for three days of discussions, workshops and field trips.
Dinner and evening event tickets available now!
Hometree is thrilled to invite you all to join us for the highly anticipated fifth edition of the Ardnaculla Summer School, 15 - 17th May, 2026. Ardnaculla Summer School is a community and ecology festival promoting learning, connection, and regeneration.
Hometree’s mission is to be a conduit between the natural world, the people who know how to restore it, and those who are curious to get involved. These events will be gently facilitated, deeply informative and help move us a step forward in living in partnership with nature. So if you are a farmer, landowner, student of the world, or generally interested in connecting with nature and understanding the challenges of working within complex systems, please join us.
Summer school events are ticketed individually to ensure that the capacity is right for the space and nature of each specific event and to make attendance as affordable as possible. There will also be numerous happenings on the Hometree site over the weekend that are unticketed. Some events are family friendly and all are welcome. Please remember that Hometree is a charity that is entirely dependent on donations and grant funding.
Unfortunately Hometree HQ is not yet fully accessible but if you have any questions around access or mobility, please do get in touch: hello@hometree.ie. We will do our best to help.
