Kayaking dates, castle experiences, Irish dance socials, and scenic walks across Ireland’s most breathtaking landscapes.

Castle gala, Love Quest games, and the grand matchmaking ceremony under Irish skies — your story starts here.
Sue has loved Ireland for as long as she can remember.
As a teenager, she wore a t-shirt that proudly said "I Like Irish Boys."
As a young adult, her love for Ireland only grew — the culture, the people, the humour, the land.
Now, as a woman, she's doing what she's always done best: calling it in.
This isn't just a t-shirt. It's a full-circle moment. A declaration. A manifestation.
Sue loves Ireland — and she's ready to meet the Irish man who loves her back.

County Laois, where the Love Éire experience unfolds, sits at the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East — a region rich in history, natural beauty and character. Surrounded by rolling countryside and open skies, the setting offers a refreshing change of pace while remaining easily accessible, just under an hour from Dublin.
This is a fully hosted glamping festival experience, with two full days of curated activities, workshops, facilitated matchmaking moments, social gatherings, games and evening entertainment. From structured daytime sessions to relaxed evening socials, every element is designed to create a fun, safe and engaging environment where connections can develop naturally.
As the sun sets and the festival energy builds, guests gather for music, conversation and shared experiences — all within a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere that encourages genuine interaction and meaningful connection.
Within this setting, Pitched Perfect brings a refined glamping experience to Love Éire at Ballykilcavan Farm & Brewery. Set against the peaceful Laois countryside, their thoughtfully styled tents provide a comfortable and private space for guests, while remaining just steps from the heart of the festival programme.
Throughout the weekend, guests move between structured workshops, facilitated matchmaking sessions, shared dining experiences and evening entertainment — all within a well-hosted and welcoming environment. The accommodation offers a calm retreat at the end of each day, balancing community energy with personal space.
It’s a carefully curated festival stay that combines comfort, connection and the unique character of rural County Laois — designed to support meaningful interaction in a relaxed and respectful setting.
