We Build
Electric Moments.
From Belfast Zoo to the Wicklow coast, we build the venues, attractions and events that get talked about. Land trains, marquees, ice rinks, Christmas markets, prop hire, and one of Ireland's oldest gaols. Ireland-wide, family-run, built to a standard.

House.
Hire, attractions, events. We own our fleet, our props and our venues, which means no middlemen, no markups, and one number to call when something needs sorting.
Wicklow's
Historic Gaol.
One of Ireland's oldest gaols, built in 1702 and standing for over three centuries, reopens under our operation in autumn 2026. Inside: guided and self-guided tours, a courtyard café (The Governor's Table), the Victorian marquee for weddings and corporate events, escape boxes, monthly markets and seasonal events. Tickets and tour booking open soon.
A Gaol with Range.
Tours, dining, weddings, escape boxes, markets and seasonal events, all inside a working gaol first built in 1702.

From Belfast
Zoo
to Hollywood.
Our props, costumes and custom-built trains have featured on productions including Next Level Baker with Gordon Ramsay, filmed at Ashford Studios in Co. Wicklow.
Fox, MGM and Hallmark have all hired our props and units. If a production needs a locomotive-styled road train, a Christmas market, an ice rink or an entire medieval courtyard, we have built it before and we can build it again.
"If you can imagine it, we can build it, drive it, light it or feed it."

International Sheepdog Trials
We delivered full production and site management for the International Sheepdog Trials at Threecastles, Blessington, over three days in September 2023. It was the first time Ireland's premier trialling event came to Wicklow, drawing the top handlers from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales, along with around 190 dogs. Site build, infrastructure, logistics and visitor operations, start to finish.

Run Properly.
Electric Events has been running since 2017. Based at Charvey Way, Rathnew, Co. Wicklow, we operate Ireland-wide.
What started as Christmas markets and an ice rink has grown into a full attractions and hire business. Land trains for Belfast City Council and Coillte. The Wicklow Christmas Market. The Wicklow on Ice rink. A growing inventory of props and costumes hired to Ireland's biggest studios. And now Wicklow's Historic Gaol, under our operation as of 2026.
Most of what you see on this site, we own and run ourselves. That means clean lines of accountability, no subcontracting chains, and no nasty surprises on quote day.
"Everything you see here, we own, we run, and we stand over. That is how we keep the standard up and the surprises down."
Trusted By The Best.
