SHERKIN ISLAND
WEST CORK
A GATHERING WITH INTENTION Ten Minutes from Baltimore.
A world away.
THREE NIGHTS
AUGUST 14th - 16th
THE GATHERING
Sherkin Island, West Cork. Three nights in August, camping in a private orchard at the edge of the Atlantic.
The BIG RED analog sound system. Records selected with intention. Days spent swimming, wandering, slowing down. Nights that run until the light comes back.
Sherkin is a small island community — beautiful, remote, and wonderfully free of the kind of shops and infrastructure that follow festivals around. Come self-sufficient. Bring your tent, warm layers, cash, and everything you need to look after yourself and the people around you.
The ferry from Baltimore takes ten minutes but the feeling of the party lasts considerably longer.

PRACTICAL INFO
Sherkin Island is a short ferry journey from Baltimore, West Cork. The ferry crossing takes approximately 10 minutes. Ferry times will be published closer to the event.
There’s no shop. And theres no driving to a shop in the middle of the night. So come prepared! Power bank. Torch. Water bottle. Extra socks. Warm clothes for the journey back to the tent at 3am.
The party is three nights in a private orchard on the Atlantic coast. Bring a waterproof tent, warm layers and proper rain gear. Sherkin weather has a habit of doing its own thing.
OUR ONE ASK
Leave the island the way you found it, or belter. Look after each other, look after the land. Pace yourselves.
We can't give Rory a bad name and then his mam comes down and its a whole thing.
