Back for its 5th year, #HERoutdoorsWeek aims to celebrate the benefits of exercising and being in the outdoors, brings visibility to female participation in sport and physical activity. Knowing how much I gain from the outdoors, this is a week that I love being involved in, and will happily shout from the rooftops about!A Sport Ireland initiative, this week is organised by the Local Sports Partnerships and Outdoor National Governing Bodies. All across Ireland, there are so many opportunities to experience adventure! HER Outdoors Week is fromAugust 11th - 17th, 2025In this article, find upcoming events for the week ahead divided by county. Many of the events that are organised are taster sessions or up-skilling opportunities, and so are a great way to try new sports with new people. Find events near you by County: My top tips for finding events this year: many of the NGBs and LSPs are doing the booking for events through Eventbrite. If you find your Local Sports Partnership on Eventbrite see if they have a collection of events dedicated to HER Outdoors Week, or just scroll through all their upcoming events.Ive done my best to only include events that still had tickets available as off the morning of Tue 12th of August!
