We are Closed

In line with updated public health guidelines and the move to level three of the Living with Covid Plan, we are sorry to say that we will be closing Kylemore Abbey & Gardens until we return to levels two or one.

A sincere thank you to everyone who has visited and supported Kylemore over the past few months, we will be working hard behind the scenes over the coming weeks to ensure a safe and enjoyable day out awaits all who visit Kylemore when we reopen.

Until then, stay well.

Please note: if you have pre-booked your visit to Kylemore Abbey, we will be making contact with you in the coming days to rearrange your ticket for another day or offer a refund.
