Launch of Ballintubber Abbey’s Next Chapter

New Visitors Centre

Bridging History and Future

It’s an exciting time for Ballintubber Abbey as we share our vision for the future. Over
800 years the Abbey has seen immense change, struggle and celebration. From
fires to Penal Laws and beyond, it still stands strong after 800 years as the “Abbey
that refused to die”. In recent times the Abbey has become a destination for people
of all religions and none and we’re excited about its future as both a spiritual and
cultural centre. On Monday 7 th April 2025 we’re launching both our new website and
our ambitious plans for the future visitor and cultural centre here at Ballintubber
Abbey.

Official Launch with Ministers Calleary and Dillon

We’re delighted that Mayo TD, Dara Calleary, Minister for Social Protection and
Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, along with his
constituency colleague TD, Allan Dillon, Minister of State for Small Business and
Retail & Circular Economy, will be present for the launch.
This event will mark the launch of our new website and booking system, the
presentation of our Strategic Plan for 2025–2028, and an update on the
commencement of the Ballintubber Abbey Cultural and Heritage Visitor Centre, set
to begin later this year.

Event Details
