Free daily tours of Newry and Mourne Museum

Every day from 13 to 18 October you can take a tour of Newry and Mourne Museum.

The Museum is housed at Bagenal’s Castle, a 16-century fortified house, one of Newry’s oldest buildings. The castle’s early history, closely connected with the Nine Years War, the Flight of the Earls and the Ulster Plantation, places Newry at the centre of a seminal period in Irish history.

You will discover how the building would have functioned four hundred years ago, looking at the original features of the castle such as the machicolation, the corbel, and the fireplace.

The main exhibitions in the Museum include prehistoric material, Newry as a merchant town, it’s development during the 18 and 19 centuries. The working life of the area and modern experiences of living in a Border area in the 20 century.
