This Easter, step into a storybook setting at Kylemore Abbey, where history, nature, and tradition weave together a celebration unlike any other. Nestled in the heart of Connemara, Kylemore invites visitors of all ages to discover a timeless Easter experience surrounded by breathtaking beauty and rich heritage.
Follow the Easter trail through the lush Victorian Walled Garden, where children are rewarded with a sweet chocolate treat and families can revel in the springtime bloom. Stop by the Pony Paddock to meet the peaceful Connemara ponies, gentle icons of the region, and uncover the charm of Victorian Easter traditions brought to life within the abbey’s historic walls.
Inside the castle, the air is filled with the graceful sounds of live harp music – the perfect backdrop to a leisurely Easter afternoon as you peruse the historic rooms of the castle and take in the newly opened Old Ireland in Colour photography exhibition, based on the best-selling books which is now on display in Fordham Law Great Hall. Complete your Easter day out with a wholesome, homemade lunch in The Kylemore Kitchen followed by Kylemore’s legendary apple pie with lashings of custard.
No visit would be complete without a stop at Kylemore Abbey Craft & Design to pick up Sr Genevieve’s Lucky Lamb. Now in its fourth year, this handmade, limited-edition chocolate delight is not only a delicious treat, but also your chance to win a very special prize – a chocolate-making workshop at Kylemore Abbey.
