The next edition of our Lunchtime Webinar Series is taking place on Wednesday June 25th from 12-1pm. For this webinar Áine May Hughes will be exploring Greenwashing & Sustainability Communications 🌱📣

From a young age Áine has been passionate about live events and music festivals. As she dove deeper into the events industry, she began to uncover the unsustainable practices behind them - how they can contribute towards shallow, capitalistic mindsets that drive significant waste and negative environmental impact.

Now as an experienced event producer and sustainability consultant, Áine will help debunk assumptions made about sustainability, provide tips for avoiding greenwashing, and help us decode the sustainability narratives that actually matter.

Did you know Bealtaine Festival at the Hill of Uisneach is thousands of years old?

Steeped in Ireland’s pagan roots, it is said to be the burial place of the earth goddess Éiru, from whom Ireland (Éire) derives its name. The ancient festival was revived in 2009 and brings age-old traditions back to life with traditional craft, music, a procession of fire and the lighting of the Bealtaine Fire 🔥

Native Events are delighted to be involved in the production of this ancient festival in 2025.
Kick off festival season with the bringing of light at the sacred centre of Ireland.

Tickets are available now www.uisneach.ie or at
