The next Hibernacle at Orlagh House will be held on July 17th, 18th & 19th, 2026///
Announcements Coming Soon!
Hibernacle is a fresh, intimate festival celebrating music, art, and community in the magical, history-rich grounds of Orlagh House — a place that feels as welcoming as your favourite local, where music flows as easily as the pints. Curated by music lovers for music lovers, the festival centres around one main outdoor stage, while hidden gems and secret sessions wait to be discovered throughout the estate's serene surroundings. From soul-stirring ballads to high-energy sets, Hibernacle blends emerging and established artists in collaborative, immersive performances that spark real connection. It’s all wrapped in a cosy, close-knit atmosphere that feels more like a gathering than a festival — and when the sun sets, the magic keeps going with live sets in the main hall, trad sessions by the fire, and DJs spinning deep into the night.

Late-Night Magic at Orlagh House
Hibernacle will also feature exclusive late-night after-show sessions on both Friday and Saturday evenings. For just €20 (plus booking fee), festival-goers can purchase a wristband for exclusive access to these intimate after-hours performances inside Orlagh House. Whether it’s DJ sets in the drawing room or a cosy trad session in the dim lit oratory, these after-hours gatherings are the perfect way to wind down or keep dancing late into the night.
Getting There
Just 30 minutes from Dublin City Centre and five minutes from the M50, Orlagh House is easily accessible — a short taxi from Bray, nearby suburbs, or the city itself.
Return bus tickets from a central Dublin pick-up point are available as an optional add-on when booking. Buses will run after the main outdoor programme each night, so if you're planning to stay for the late-night aftershows, Orlagh House is just a quick taxi ride back to town. A detailed travel map and info will be shared closer to the event.
Hibernacle is the perfect antidote to the larger, more chaotic festivals out there. It's a relaxed, “grown-up” festival experience with classy food vendors, great drinks, and no stress - just music, people, and memories.
