Brigit 2026: Dublin City Celebrating Women

The fifth edition of Brigit: Dublin City Celebrating Women returns from Friday, 30th January to Monday, 2nd February 2026. Full programme details to be announced in January.

Join Dr Karen Ward, co-rediscoverer of Brigid’s Way Celtic Pilgrimage, for a unique cycle pilgrimage to the hidden Brigid’s Well in Phoenix Park. Beginning at the Chesterfield Avenue entrance (near a Dublin City bike station), participants will set their intentions as a ‘mini tribe’ and cycle together through the park. Along the way, Karen will share the stories and legends of Brigit, both Celtic Goddess and Matron Saint of Ireland, whose timeless wisdom has inspired and empowered women across the ages. Upon reaching the well, the pilgrimage will culminate in a special Cleansing Ceremony, using the pure spring water of Brigid’s Well for renewal and reflection. The ceremony will be accompanied by song, and participants are invited to bring their Brigid crosses to bless in the waters, connecting with her healing and transformative energy. This journey offers a meaningful and peaceful way to honour Brigid’s spirit while embracing the natural beauty of Phoenix Park. Important Details: This event involves cycling; participants must bring their own bike, hi-vis vest, and suitable gear. Bicycle rental is not included. A liability waiver is required for all participants.
