The Barn at Fellowsfield is a creative and inspirational venue set on a small working farm in County Kildare, yet only 36kms from Ireland’s capital city of Dublin.  Converted from a farm building by leading international photographer, Tony Parkes, and his wife Louise who is a writer, it has a uniquely calm, warm and friendly atmosphere that encourages innovation, the lively exchange of ideas, a passion for training and knowledge, or simply relaxing when you want to get away from it all.

Learn about photography and journalism, explore the way forward for your company through engagement with key staff, encourage the development of their full potential, or just curl up in front of a blazing fire with a good book and great friends.  When you want somewhere different, offering 4-Star accommodation, wholesome home-cooked food and the best of personal attention.
