Fastnet Maritime and Folk Festival 2027: A West Cork Music Escape

18–20 June 2027 · Ballydehob, West Cork

Let Ballydehob’s Fastnet Maritime and Folk Festival draw you into West Cork. The June weekend is a chance to organise a music-led trip and slow down in a part of Ireland that rewards a less hurried itinerary.

Make it a road trip

Allow several days if you are collecting in Dublin, with an overnight stop on the way if it suits your schedule. Around the festival, choose a short West Cork coastal outing instead of trying to cover the whole county.

Plan your event stay

Check the published concert and session programme, including ticketed events. Arrange a suitable overnight pitch and confirm how you will get back after the evening music.

Find your campervan for 2027

Retro Camper Hire offers campervan hire all year round, subject to vehicle availability. Turn the event into a break that suits you. Compare Retro Camper Hire’s campervans and choose the layout and facilities for your group. Check campervan dates and prices, or ask us about your trip before finalising tickets and your overnight pitch.

Plan your journey from our Dublin campervan hire base, or use our Ireland touring guide to build a longer road trip around the event.

Hire availability depends on your dates. Event admission, campsite pitches and any event vehicle passes are booked separately and are not included in campervan hire.
