Make Gallivanting Your Next Group Destination
Whether you’re looking to give your learners and students a unique take on Irish history, organise a community event with a difference or breathe fresh air into your next corporate think-tank – choose Gallivanting.
Schools and Colleges
There’s no better way to teach children than by involving them in the subject matter. As an educator, Gallivanting gives you the opportunity to present Irish history, nature and cultural studies in a new, engaging and refreshing way – through hands-on activities, storytelling and exploration. On one of our immersive and curriculum-aligned nature experiences your group will learn about how the natural world and Irish landscape shaped our culture and identity. They’ll hear about the Vikings arriving in Ireland, the Pagan Celt belief that spirits inhabit all aspects of the natural world, and the ancient myths and legends that weave together past and present. Led by an authentic 8th generation ‘Bean Feasa,’ a traditional wise woman, your group will learn basic foraging skills, explore Irish words, develop a new appreciation for trees and learn about our incredible ‘wood wide web.’ And most importantly, they’ll have fun as they learn.
Alternatively, choose to bring the tradition of the seanachai (storytelling) into your classroom – with an engaging storytelling session inspired by local folklore and Irish mythology.
Community and Friends
Whether it’s a birthday celebration, anniversary or special reunion with friends – Gallivanting is your perfect setting. An opportunity to get out of town and immerse yourself in nature’s beauty and wonder in great company. Led by our ‘Bean Feasa’ you’ll take a wonderful walk through forestland, explore the beauty and share the wisdom of ancient myths and legends. You’ll write your name in Ogham, find out your Celtic Tree Sign, do some foraging for wild food and learn about the healing power of woodland herbs and plants as well as their use in cooking and crafts. Walking groups, women’s groups, wild swimming groups and more – you’re so very welcome. You can choose to pair your visit with lunch or dinner, and we will shortly have accommodation packages available.
Corporate
Leave the office behind and bring your executive team, staff or managers on a paradigm-shifting Gallivanting away day. There’s no better way to demonstrate Wellness at Work than with one of our relaxing and enlightening nature experiences. A day with us is also team building with a difference, as you learn basic foraging and practical survival skills in the forest while having the best fun. The result? Your team will return to work energised, less stressed, better connected and with clearer thinking.
We know that the natural world is scientifically proven to increase productivity, creativity and wellbeing. So, if you’re planning a brainstorming or think-tank session – Gallivanting will really get the juices flowing.
Many companies are also getting to grips with the importance of Social Value and the impact their organisation has on people, communities and the planet. The recognition that there is a responsibility to have a net positive effect on society and the environment. Exploring the natural world at Gallivanting and understanding our deep connection to nature is the ideal setting in which to navigate your Social Value commitment. Informative, inspiring and engaging. We can provide lunch or dinner if you wish, and best of all we’re just an hour from Dublin and 45 minutes from Wexford.
