The gardens at Gorse Hill will be open to the public for the duration of the Wicklow Gardens Festival. At Gorse Hill Gardens there is a living Willow Tunnel and many unique art installations which have been created by local artists. The tunnel and installations are open for viewing year round.
There will be many scheduled events during the Festival, such as picnics, sing-a-longs, knitting circles, music making, poetry readings and a collaborative art creation…absolutely no experience or age restriction necessary to thoroughly enjoy any of these events!
Entrance Donation is €5 per adult, children under 16 come free. Children must be supervised at all times. Please note there is no parking on site. See directions for Gorse Hill location and park your car at the beginning of Cliff Road. Enjoy the walk down to the very last house.

Overlooking the Irish sea on Ireland's East Coast, 20 miles south of Dublin.It is set in magnificent terraced gardens with many nooks and crannies for quiet and nurturing.
Joan Davis, the owner of Gorse Hill, inherited the site in 1992 from her family and has been living there full time since 1996.
Gorse Hill has an environment that restores and increases well-being, personally, spiritually and creatively, and uniquely combines art and therapy.
