Hibernacle at Orlagh House, Rathfarnham is a curated weekend of music, collaboration, and late-night culture just 30 minutes from Dublin city centre. Blending iconic Irish artists, one-off performances, and a close-knit setting, Hibernacle is fast becoming one of the most distinctive additions to Ireland’s summer festival calendar.

There are two outdoor stages, the Main Stage for the main artist sets, and the Secret Garden Stage, a more intimate setting created for surprise collaborations throughout the weekend.

As night falls, the festival moves indoors, off-script, into the Orlagh House Oratory, fireside corners, and late-night sessions.

Expect cosy trad circles, DJ sets, spoken word, and special guest moments, where the lines between artist and audience begin to blur. A limited-capacity aftershow runs each night, with live sessions in one room and DJs into the early hours in another.

Set across the historic grounds of Orlagh House, Hibernacle is deliberately small-scale, designed as a shared experience rather than a mass event.

Hibernacle is not about scale - it’s about atmosphere, intention and the moments you don’t quite plan for.

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.

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.
