Sun-cream, water  and sunhat  recommended in summer. The ground is uneven so may be unsuitable for wheelchairs/rollators. Photos can be taken but not recordings of performances (GDPR).

We do not receive any public funding yet  towards our tours so unfortunately can not offer discounts. Cancellations, refunds etc or changed bookings only upon receipt of medical evidence.

Cairde na Cille volunteers are working  on an on-going basis during week and weekends to restore this ancient cemetery so additional donations are welcome for this worthwhile cause.(Link on our landing page).

 Please email us your feedback on mail@cairdenacille.org or if you are interested in volunteering and or well-being programmes (latter starting when funding is secured).  We look forward to seeing you soon.Our Graveyard Tours are not suitable for children under 16 unless exceptionally interested in history.
