Events.

Cliodhna has channelled her passion for authenticity in food and wild landscapes into curating sensational bespoke affairs for clients including Toast, Hermès, and other private clients. 

Cliodhna and creative partner Imen McDonnell co-founded Lens & Larder, a food and travel photography retreat. Together they delivered a series of gatherings, workshops, and events held in stunning country houses led by world-renowned masters of food and travel photography and writing. In curating these special events they chose some of the most unique places in Ireland as locations, including Ballyvolane House, Ballynahinch Castle, Ballyfin Demesne, Ballymaloe Cookery School, Glin Castle, Clough Jordan House and Gregan’s Castle.

Lens & Larder has collaborated with Gentl & Hyers, Susan Spungen, Mimi and Oddur Thorisson, Ditte Isager, David Prior, Beth Kirby, Diana Henry, Elissa Altman, Marte Marie Forsberg, Bill Phelps, and Renee Kemps. In connecting participants to the surrounding landscape and local artisanal producers, Lens & Larder was named one of the world's top workshops by Suitcase Magazine.
