WELCOME
Our family has been living at Killruddery since 1618 and today we are very happy that three generations live here. Living heritage on Dublin’s doorstep!
Killruddery is a true celebration of the great outdoors and an authentic, bio-diverse space. We continue to meet long-standing Members who enjoy Killruddery as their own back garden; it is our delight to build a strong community here who are as passionate about conserving this estate as we are. We produce chemical-free vegetables, fruit, cut-flowers and free-range meats for our Farm Shop and all our ‘garden-to-plate’ menus for The Grain Store, Pizza Shed, Dairy Yard Coffee Shop, Tea Room and Carrot & Coffee Corner.
Over the past decade, we have responded to the challenge of preserving the House and Gardens by transforming Killruddery into a popular visitor attraction on Ireland’s Ancient East, a working farm and a private hire venue for weddings and corporate events. However, at the heart of this enterprise, we wish to protect Killruddery’s soul and unique character as our special family home.
You are most welcome. We hope you will enjoy your visit and return again and again.
Earl and Countess of Meath, Lord and Lady Ardee and the Brabazon family.

DUBLIN INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL - FAMILY CONCERT WITH ELENA URIOSTE + TOM POSTER
SATURDAY, 10TH JUNE
FREE
EVENT DESCRIPTION
In March 2020, husband and wife, pianist Tom Poster and violinist Elena Urioste, made the decision to record and share one music video for every day they would spend in isolation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. They named their pandemic project, #UriPosteJukeBox, a portmanteau of their last names and a nod to a more nostalgic way of enjoying music.
In celebration of Cruinniú na nÓg, Ireland’s national day of free creativity for children and young people under 18, these inspirational musicians will play a charming selection of music from their JukeBox days. A fun and eclectic programme for all the family presented with love and care by these enchanting musicians.

Beautiful house and gardens, lots of variety with the farm road walks around the back of Killruddery and great food. Had an excellent house tour today with Barbara. I regularly visit the gardens and farm roads and would highly recommend a visit to both the house and gardens for anyone.
Loved the magnificent gardens and the great tour we had of the house with guide Sarah. Lovely lunch options in the courtyard. Great picnic area for families.
