Bog Bothy in Clara, Co. Offaly

Bothy: A purpose-built shelter and gathering space for deep engagement with the bog that builds on the design language of Ireland’s peatlands. The bothy structure has been co-created with communities in Offaly, Louth, and Meath and designed by architects Evelyn D’Arcy and David Jameson of 12th Field.

Events Programme: Peatlands panel talks, walks, workshops, and performances across climate action, architecture, and future heritage.

Exhibition: A curated exploration of labour, trace, and climate in the boglands – exploring the bog as both a historical archive and a future landscape, including photographs by Shane Hynan.

Artist in Residence: New work by multidisciplinary performance maker Luke Casserly, which responds to the peatlands, its people, and the Bog Bothy project through deep engagement.

The Bog Bothy project is a Creative Climate Action II – Agents for Change project, funded by Creative Ireland. The Bog Bothy tour, exhibition, and events programme are additionally funded by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Offaly County Council, Meath County Council, and The Heritage Council.
