The Grinding House, named because this was where grain was ground on the farm. The Grinder is still here and has retired to the outside courtyard. This building has been the last to be restored, and was finished in July 2023.
We were delighted to host our first art exhibition here the month it was open, with two renowned artists living in Co Wicklow. Bob Lynn and Trevor Geoghegan “A Journey Through Creativity”. Sadly Trevor passed away soon after this exhibition and we were incredibly sad, and also very honoured to have been able to view his work for the few months we had his paintings.
Since then this space has been used to host many events, retreats workshops and dinners. It’s a beautiful and very special space. Capacity wise we can seat 50-60 people, standing 80+, and we also have outside seating space in the courtyard (of course always weather dependent!).
Please contact us directly to enquire about booking this space for your event.
