Public information days on plans for Westport House

PLANNING will be submitted shortly for an ambitious new vision to transform Westport House into a world-class tourism destination and visitor attraction to benefit the whole region.

Supported by Fáilte Ireland, it will see Westport House create a uniquely Irish landscape experience by Mary Reynolds that connects the earth with our Irish heritage.

The full restoration of Westport House and the reimagining of its 300-year-old history and legendary stories of the Browne family and Grace O'Malley will also be central features.

Open days are being held so people can learn more about the project and what it means for the town of Westport.

The public information days will be held on Tuesday, June 27, from 2.30 to 6 p.m., and Wednesday, June 28, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Both take place in the Drawing Room at Westport House.

All are invited to come along.
