Waiting for a sign to reset and recharge before autumn?

On September 20th, the Ballinadee Bus Rescue Farm near Kinsale is throwing a one-day festival called New Beginnings and it’s shaping up to be one of the best-value, chill days out in West Cork.

For the basic €35 ticket, you get access to live music, open mic sessions, DJs, an art exhibition and market, unlimited sauna and cold dips, a food truck, and even the chance to hang out with the rescue animals on the farm (goats, llamas, rabbits, chickens — the gang’s all there).

That’s cheaper than a big night in town, and you’ll actually feel good the morning after.

If you fancy going deeper, there are workshop tickets (€55) where you can pick one transformational session — yoga, sound bath, breathwork or primal movement. Or, if you’re really up for a full reset, the €80 full experience pass covers all four workshops plus the music and extras.

Workshops are limited to just 35 people each, so it’s intimate, personal, and likely to sell out fast.

Tents and campervans welcome 

The vibe? Think sunrise yoga, art in the fields, sound baths, rewilding workshops, fresh food, and a soundtrack that shifts from laid-back live guitar to funk, disco, and groovy high-energy DJ sets as the night rolls in.

Tent and Campervan pitches are available for just €5 with a ticket and you can also hop on the return bus from Washington Street in Cork City at 8am on the day for €22.
