Plan an adventure in West Cork's Secret Garden

A scenic garden centre on a 25 acre site in Kilbrittain, West Cork Secret boasts a huge variety of exotic flowers, towering trees and a fruit garden to die for. But hidden through the bamboo walkway lies an exciting discovery... proprietor Finbarr O’Mahoney’s former career as a sergeant in the Reserve Defence Force enabled him to see how the forces helped instill a sense of discipline and self respect in young people, as well as valuable team building skills.

All qualities that are brought out in groups that arrive at West Cork Secret. Be it a ten year-old's birthday party or a corporate outing, visitors tackle a series of challenges (from go-carting to milking cows) before hitting the army style obstacle course and the 180ft water slide to cool off.

Afterwards you can enjoy homemade stone baked pizza and refreshments in the weatherproof garden cafe. Groups of more than 10 can avail of the Party Package, just €6 per person, pen seven days a week from 12pm to 6pm. Call 087 8331206 to book or visit www.westcorksecret.ie for more details.
