The Irish Agricultural Museum (Johnstown Castle) CLG

The Irish Agricultural Museum (Johnstown Castle) Company Limited by Guarantee preserves and shares the rich heritage of rural Ireland through the spectacular Johnstown Castle Estate, Museum and Gardens. Set amid a 120‑acre parkland in Wexford, the organisation offers visitors a fairy‑tale experience of a neo‑gothic Irish castle, its meticulously restored interiors, and an 86‑metre subterranean servants’ passageway, all guided by expert local interpreters.

Its core attractions include the Irish Agricultural Museum – a family‑friendly collection of original farming machinery, vintage tractors and recreated country kitchens that illustrate over a century of Irish rural life – and the vibrant ornamental gardens designed by Daniel Robertson, where wildlife such as bats, badgers and red squirrels thrive. Complementary facilities comprise the Peacock Café, serving quality coffee and light meals, a visitor‑centre shop stocked with Wexford foods, crafts and books, and a range of educational programmes, school tours and special events ranging from jazz sessions to behind‑the‑scenes conservation talks. Johnstown Castle thus serves tourists, families, schools and heritage enthusiasts seeking an engaging, immersive glimpse of Ireland’s agricultural past and natural beauty.
