Booze & Fire – Wild Brews & Firecraft in Gormanston Woods Sunday 10th August 10am - 3pm Step into the wild with Booze & Fire, a one-of-a-kind day of crafting, tasting, and connecting in the heart of nature. Set in the serene Gormanston Woods and guided by Ross Wareham of froe.ie and Feebee Foran of Forager.ie, this experience blends botanical alchemy with firecraft.
