This August, we’re heading to the beautiful Trooperstown Hill, Co. Wicklow, for a scenic hike through one of the most picturesque areas of the Wicklow Mountains.
Expect peaceful forest trails, sweeping mountain views, fresh air, lovely conversations and a welcoming group of like-minded people. We’ll take our time, enjoy nature, and soak up everything late summer has to offer.
After the hike, we’ll settle down together for our signature vegan picnic & potluck. Bring along your favourite vegan dish, snack or dessert to share (homemade or shop-bought), sweet or savoury – everything is welcome. 🥗✨
If the weather is on our side, there may also be the option of a refreshing swim or dip for anyone who fancies it. 🏞️
Whether you’re vegan, vegan-curious, coming solo or bringing friends, you’ll be warmly welcomed.
Head over to Eventbrite and grab your ticket!
