Minister Patrick O’Donovan announced today that admission charges to all fee-paying open OPW heritage sites are being waived until the end of the year. This is in line with the Government’s recovery and reopening plan.This move will support the tourism industry and local businesses around the country by incentivising people to discover, enjoy and cherish the many OPW heritage sites spread across the county.
The measure is effective immediately and will remain in force until the end of the year, offering us all a renewed opportunity to explore the treasures which the OPW holds in trust for the nation. Rathfarnham Castle re-opens on May 24th for self-guiding tours and the café will be offering a take-away service.
St. Enda’s Park gardens and parklands are open as normal (the museum and nature room are currently closed), and the café there is also offering a take-away service.
