The Wickerman Gathering

Ignite your ancient spirit at Navan Centre & Fort’s celebration of the festival of Lughnasa, The Wickerman Gathering, on Saturday 9th August from 6:30pm-10:30pm!

As the clan marks the beginning of the harvest season, they will honour the Celtic Sun God, Lugh, with the awe-inspiring spectacle of a 30-foot Wickerman set ablaze in a dramatic fire ceremony!

Feel history pulse beneath your feet with powerful living history performances that transport you straight to the Iron Age. Experience the rhythmic beats and stirring melodies of live musical performances by local performers, explore unique creations by artisan craft makers and enjoy an exciting mix of interactive, family-friendly activities that will captivate visitors of all ages, as anticipation builds ahead of the great fire ceremony!

Why not embrace the heritage of the Celts and come dressed in your own colourful tunic, Celtic jewellery, Summer Headdress or warrior face paint?

Together, we will unite for this unforgettable evening to celebrate a fiery display of colour, community, culture and creativity at The Wickerman Gathering!
