Guided Tours

While the Birthplace of Edmund Rice is preserved as a genuine Heritage Centre it is also a place of prayer and pilgrimage. Children, as young as seven, show a remarkable interest in all aspects of the house. A guided tour of the house, which takes approximately a half hour (longer if necessary), is available to all groups. Special emphasis is placed on the privilege of visiting and praying in the room where Blessed Edmund was born. Combining a visit to the house with a visit to the Icon the tour requires a full hour.

The ideal number we recommend to parishes, societies and schools is between 50 and 60 but a few extra will be accommodated when necessary.
