Last chance to bid or donate to this worthy cause. Auction ends at 7pm on Sunday, 1st May.

Home for Home is a travel auction, offering participants the chance to stay in some of the world’s most beautiful and exclusive homes, with all proceeds directly benefiting much needed aid relief efforts in the Ukraine. The brainchild of our dear friend Josephine Ryan, author, interiors expert and stylist, the collection comprises 30 properties located across the globe, many of which are not typically available to rent. Homes listed include Neuendorf House, a design-led Mallorcan villa created by world renowned architects John Pawson and Claudio Silvestrin and Thyme, the much loved 31 bedroom bolthole found in the heart of the Cotswolds as well as a night’s stay at Ballyvolane House.

Aoife O’Connell Walsh and James Walsh said “I do” in a gorgeous ceremony on December 28th in a rustic-chic barn on the ground of Ballyvolane House with just 17 close family members present.

“Ballyvolane was incredible,” Aoife said. “We were looking for somewhere that was different, somewhere that wasn’t your typical wedding venue”.

Thank you Aoife and James for having chosen BH as the location for your wedding. We really enjoyed having you all here. Huge congratulations and best wishes for the future.
