the Concept
“Not a typical retreat”
lagompresents is an annual series of carefully curated weekend retreats hosted by us at our estate in Ballycastle. Each bring together a small group of like minded guests with some of the most interesting makers, chefs, guides and creators from across the Irish North Coast and beyond. We take over the whole property and shape each weekend around the season, the space, and the kind of atmosphere we want to create. Each retreat has its own theme always unique – never repeated. If you miss it you miss it.
Food is shared. Time is flexible. Nothing feels over-structured.
To mark our first lagompresents gathering, we’re celebrating midsommar. A time traditionally centred around long days, good food, and being outdoors with great people.
On 24th – 26th July, we’re opening the gates to the whole Lagom estate and hosting a two night retreat centred around community, creativity and great company.
Think morning movement in the courtyard, hands-on creative sessions with local makers, all rounded off with incredible food and drinks specially curated by our favourite chefs.
It’s less about the formalities and more about the feeling. Slower evenings, shared tables, and a natural rhythm to the day. The kind of atmosphere that doesn’t need much forcing.

Our incredible hosts
Monday’s Child
If you’ve ever seen an ultra cool charm bar at an event or on social media, then it was probably the creative brains of Monday’s Child. Founded in 2021, Monday’s Child have become THE go to for custom luxe jewellery in Northern Ireland. Laura will be hosting a custom jewellery making workshop so you can take a piece of your Midsommar experience home with you that’ll last just as long as the memories.
Wildflower Yogi
Karen will be hosting two gentle yoga workshops for all midsommar guests. Don’t worry if you’ve never tried yoga before, because Karen has experience working with all levels of yogis. The energy that Karen brings is amazing. Within a few minutes of meeting her, you’ll see how passionate she is about yoga and helping people become 1% more aligned each day. A mantra that we’re proud to be bringing to our first retrea
Mallow Makers
What better way to settle into a warm summer’s evening than with toasted s’mores around the fire? We’ve partnered with the incredible Ingrid from Mallow Makers to bring you the squishiest, most delicious addition to your Midsommar experience. Ingrid started Mallow Makers in 2020 out of a rekindled love of making marshmallows, and what began as a way to make herself feel better has grown into a business dedicated to making life a little bit sweeter for everyone.
Niche Coastal
If you’re up for something a bit different, Declan’s sea sauna is for you. Its right on the beach, set in a seriously beautiful spot looking out towards Rathlin. You’ll spend your time moving between the heat of the wood-fired sauna and the sea, getting that proper hit of hot, cold, and salty air. He guides the whole thing in a really relaxed way, keeps you topped up with water, adds eucalyptus to the coals, and just makes the whole experience feel easy and looked after. It’s one of those things that sounds simple, but ends up being a real highlight of the weekend.
Small Batch Pizza Club
Specialising in Neopolitan pizza, Small Batch Pizza Club are absolutely nerdy about good pizza!
Usually selling out their Friday night pizza pick up slots week after week, we are so excited to have them cooking up the goods for our welcome dinner!
With a specialised menu for Midsommar and a whole lot of flavour in their kit, we know you are about to have the tastiest Friday evening of your life!
