The best wellbeing days don't happen in a hotel function room. 🌿
The Enva Ireland team brought their annual Wellbeing Day to Ballintubbert House and Gardens — and this is exactly what we had in mind when we designed this space.
Set across 14 acres of Ireland's first certified organic ornamental gardens, just one hour from Dublin — Ballintubbert is where companies come when they want their people to feel something different.
Culture and wellbeing days are one of our specialities. If your team deserves a day like this, let's talk.

Klaus Laitenberger at the Festival of Gardens and Nature at Ballintubbert 🌿
A fascinating look at the history of the potato, from its origins in Peru and Bolivia to its slow arrival and acceptance in Ireland.
Klaus explored how suspicion, religion and folklore all shaped the story of the potato, alongside the remarkable journey that eventually made it such an important part of Irish food culture.
Thanks Sara for the mention. We are amongst some incredible venues there!

A short seasonal recipe using blackcurrant leaves and elderflower.
For the syrup, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add blackcurrant leaves or elderflower, simmer briefly, then strain and allow to cool completely.
Served over strawberries, both combinations are perfect for this time of year.

Actor and director Dominic West read from “Bird School” alongside writer and farmer Adam Nicolson at the Festival of Gardens and Nature at Ballintubbert.
Their conversation explored birds, farming, observation and our relationship with the natural world, drawing from Adam Nicolson’s latest book and his experiences on his farm in Sussex.
Set beneath the Tabernacle at Ballintubbert, it was one of many thoughtful conversations across the weekend celebrating gardens, nature, food and the people connected to them 🌿

Thank you so much Elaine & Robert for the wonderful Google Review 🤍
"We recently had our wedding at the Fabulous Ballintubbert House, and from the very beginning we knew we wanted something non-traditional — a rustic vibe, a relaxed atmosphere, and most importantly, a fun experience for everyone. Ballintubbert and all the staff delivered that and more.
We loved being so involved in the little details of our day, from DIY projects to creating an experience where our guests could truly enjoy everything the venue has to offer — long walks around the beautiful grounds, amazing food, and a laid-back environment. We chose not to have a sit-down meal and instead had a food truck serving mouth-watering dishes that our guests absolutely loved.
Bronwyn, you were absolutely incredible. As a bride starting to feel a little nervous before the big day, I worried that our guests might not embrace our non-traditional approach — but you completely put those fears to rest. Every little detail we discussed was brought to life beyond my expectations. And for that we can never thank you enough.
Jennifer, you are an absolute gem — so calm, reassuring, and a wonderful presence to have throughout it all.
And Les — what a gent! All of our guests loved you. You brought such great craic and energy, exactly what every wedding needs.
To all the staff at Ballintubbert, thank you so much for making our wedding so special. Our wedding photos and videos are breathtaking because of what Ballintubbert has to offer. Our guests were blown away by the whole experience.
And to future couples: if you're looking for a wedding that's a little different from the norm, Ballintubbert truly offers it all. We stayed for three days, and it was nothing short of magical.
— Elaine & Robert x"
To any couples dreaming of something a little different — we'd love to help you create your own magic. 💛
