Please Note:
Roscommon County Council plan to develop the garden area of King House into a family friendly and outdoor performance space with contemporary forms and materials incorporating seating. Working closely with Ardcarne Garden Centre the area will include replanting with species that would be suitable for the space to include smaller garden trees, with attractive bark, light canopies and cherries with the spring blossom. The area will incorporate a commissioned sculpture by local blacksmith Jack Murphy.
The current garden is not suitable for people with additional mobility needs and is in a poor state of repair (degraded and uneven surfaces, wet grass area, fallen and damaged trees and poison ivy).
Our aim is to create a space that is accessible and user-friendly for all ages. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation during the coming weeks.
We welcome group bookings and school tours all year around. Tours can be tailored to the needs of your group and your learning objectives.
