Join us on Saturday, April 26th at 1pm here in Kylemore Abbey to celebrate International Marconi Day!

Kylemore Abbey will be marking this special occasion by exploring our unique and fascinating connections with Guglielmo Marconi, the renowned Irish/Italian inventor. In 1911, Marconi and his chief engineer, George Kemp, spent several months working in and around the Kylemore estate.

Join us in Fordham Hall at 1pm on Saturday, April 26th for an intriguing look into this lesser-known chapter of Kylemore's history. The talk will be delivered by local historian John Hannon, whose research forms the basis of this fascinating presentation.
