Private / Corporate events - CELT can host private / corporate events e.g. Staff / Family day out. Here is feedback from Aer Rianta : "Many thanks for organising an excellent and relaxing company family day in the woods on Friday last. We really enjoyed ourselves in your lovely centre on the lakeshore. The children were enthralled with the freedom of the woods and impressed their parents with the amazing wooden crafts they made. You will probably have some candidates for your next courses, from some of the adults who really enjoyed the introduction to wood turning, woodcarving and basket making. The archery was very popular with a few budding Robin Hoods in our midst. The nutritious food was also a highlight. Many thanks again - Fergal O'Farrell" (Planning & Organisational Development Manager, Aer Rianta International cpt)
