Fáilte Ireland, and Comhairle na Tuaithe, have developed Outdoor Activity Events Guidelines and a newly developed online training module designed to support the safe and effective planning and delivery of outdoor events.
These guidelines form part of the National Outdoor Recreation Strategy and are intended to provide practical direction on best practice, safety considerations, and operational planning for outdoor activity events across Ireland.
To further support stakeholders, Fáilte Ireland has also launched a dedicated online training module, which is now available here: https://supports.failteireland.ie/courses/organising-outdoor-activity-events/
The module covers key aspects of event organisation and complements the guidelines, helping ensure a consistent and high standard across the sector.
Accessing the training:
You will need to create a free account on the Fáilte Ireland Supports Portal before accessing the course.
Once registered, you can complete the module at your own pace.
We encourage you to review both the guidelines and the training modules if you are running events in the outdoors as they provide useful, practical support for planning and delivering outdoor events.
