We’d like to thank everyone who supported us so loyally every year and we look forward to welcoming you all back next year.

Dear Friends, We announce with a heavy heart that Kerry County Museum will not operate the Festive Hall this year. For a variety of reasons it is outside our capacity this year to deliver the magical Christmas experience that we have done in previous years.

Delighted to host the book launch of this fascinating publication on Day Place, Tralee by Laurence Jones on Tuesday 3 October at 7.30pm. All are welcome!
