Turning Pirate Presents Hibernacle — A New Boutique Festival at Orlagh House, Dublin

HIBERNACLE is here! A brand new intimate 3-day music event coming to Orlagh House in Rathfarnham, Dublin this July 4th-6th, 2025. Nestled in the breathtaking Dublin Mountains, just a short hop from the city, this beautifully curated festival brings together a powerful mix of Ireland's rising stars and seasoned favourites for a weekend of music, connection, and the joy of live music done right.

The first wave of artists have been announced, including Pillow Queens, Lisa Hannigan, Ye Vagabonds, Wallis Bird, Ailbhe Reddy, Gráinne Hunt, and Áine Tyrrell - plus a VERY special headliner still to be revealed.

Hibernacle is a fresh, intimate festival celebrating music, art, and community in the history-rich grounds of Orlagh House. 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. 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.

Daily tickets are €65, with full weekend passes available for those keen to soak up the entire three-day experience. Optional add-ons include return bus transport from Dublin city centre and a limited number of aftershow wristbands for Friday and Saturday nights. Can't pick just one day? Grab a weekend ticket and we'll happily swap your wristband so a pal or partner can join the fun another day — share the love, share the tunes! At Hibernacle, the real magic lies in how artists and audiences share the same space, pints, and unforgettable moments.

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 main room or a cosy trad session in the sitting room, these after-hours gatherings are the perfect way to wind down or keep dancing late into the night.
