The four beautiful gardens are themed on the Celtic seasonal festivals and set within 11 acres of native woodland & wildflower meadows, featuring a nature trail, ogham trees, children's discovery trail, an ancient ring fort &  our spectacular calendar sundial, the largest of its kind in Ireland.

The gardens are entirely family friendly & wheelchair accessible. Our Garden Café provides excellent lunches & snacks. The ideal venue-with-a-difference for your company meeting, special event or wedding.

Whether you are touring as an individual or part of a tour group, a school looking for a field trip; a bride to be or business person looking for the perfect venue; or just looking for something different to do, Brigit's Garden offers an experience that will last a lifetime.

Garden Café

Open daily 11am - 5:30 pm from May 1st to 30th September.

At Brigit's Garden we believe in slow food that nourishes body and soul, using wholesome ingredients in a tranquil setting. That is just one reason why our Garden Café is recommended in Georgina Campbell's 'The Best of the Best' places to eat in Ireland.

Every day our chef features a creative menu of delicious meals and snacks... from hearty soups, garden- fresh salads and delicate quiches, to mouth-watering home baked breads, scones and tarts.

All our food is freshly made on the premises using only the highest quality ingredients, featuring herbs and vegetables picked fresh from the garden when available.

To complement your meal we offer an assortment of teas and freshly brewed coffee, and a selection of quality wines by the glass or bottle.

Whether you meet a friend for a chat over a glass of wine, dine al fresco on our patio overlooking the gardens or just have time to drop in for a cup of coffee, a visit to our Garden Café is sure to leave you feeling refreshed and satisfied.

We can cater for groups by arrangement at any time of the year.

The Garden Café is open to all, with no admission charge.
