We are delighted to announce our fantastic Bealtaine Event at Drummany Spirit, the opening of Bridget’s Thatched Cottage and the launch of the Ruaille Buaille Druma, Ireland’s largest hand crafted wooden community drum.
Join us for a soulful & celebratory day at Bridget’s Thatched Cottage at Drummany Spirit, Cavan, on Sunday, 4th May, from 2 to 8pm as we honour the ancient Celtic festival of Bealtaine
After 40 years of quiet anticipation, the heart of Bridget’s thatched cottage is reborn, reigniting its warmth and spirit in a beautifully restored hearth. This year, we will gather to celebrate #Bealtaine in the lovingly restored cottage, where the fire that once brought love and warmth to many will be rekindled in a special ceremony “Reigniting the Flame”. The cottage, which has been thoughtfully restored with care and respect for tradition, will once again become a sacred space where community connection and new beginnings can blossom. As the flames dance in the hearth of the cottage, the reigniting ceremony will bring together the energies of the past and present. Through ritual, song, dance, and shared stories, we will celebrate not just Bridget, who lived here with her brother Paddy & cousin Jim but a new chapter, a symbol of renewal, growth and connection. The heart of the fire reminds us that, like the Thatched Cottage, we too can be restored and renewed no matter the years that have passed.
We are also launching The Ruaille Buaille Druma, Ireland’s largest community wooden drum. This beautiful drum. lovingly hand crafted at Drummany Spirit will bring together the heart and beat of the land, allowing 30 people to play together in connected spirit and harmony.
Come along for a day of Storytelling, Sean Nos, Drum Circle, Old Irish Games (Skittles, Tug Of War), Traditional Music & Crafts, and more
Drummany Spirit is a registered community group. Proceeds on the day will be used by Drummany Spirit to continue the development of their community space.

27- Rural Proofing Survey
Rural proofing refers to the policy development and implementation process in which policymakers systematically evaluate whether the policy (or program, strategy, initiative, etc.) will have significantly different impacts on the rural areas and how to adjust the policies to better meet the needs of rural areas.
The Survey relates to a Project called “Rural Proofing - (Coop4RURALGov). It is an inter-regional collaboration project with 7 organizations in Spain, Estonia, Ireland and Bulgaria, the project is funded by the INTERREG EUROPE program.
The link for the survey: https://kysitlus.emu.ee/index.php/122613?lang=en
Responding to the survey is voluntary and your answers will remain anonymous.
The deadline for completing the survey is April 22nd, 2025.
The aim of this survey:
to collect information on the present experience of stakeholders – when assessing rural impacts, and how to better integrate, the consideration of needs of rural areas into the policy planning and implementation process.
The aim of the project:
is to improve the capacity to create and assess the impacts of policies, programs, and initiatives on rural, coastal, and mountain areas and how to integrate rural proofing into government decision and policy-making processes.
The survey is organized by Estonian University of Life Sciences (www.emu.ee) on behalf of the Coop4RURALGov project partners. The survey data collected will be stored securely in its server. The data will be summarized and reported in aggregated format in which individual responses are not identified.
