Tour of Brownlow Castle, Lurgan, Co Armagh, and lunch at castle.
Details
This beautiful and historic building has 365 rooms and is officially the largest Orange Hall in the world. It contains two museums: covering Orangeism and the British forces. It's approx three quarters of a mile from Lurgan station and looks out on some 200 acres of parkland. The tour incl access to the museums and costs 12 pounds p.p. for over 66s and 15 pounds for under 66s. The dining facilities are excellent, main courses start around 16 pounds.
We'll meet at Connolly station in time for the 9.50 Enterprise train. It's best to get a Dublin to Belfast return ticket but we'll alight at Portadown to get a local train for
Lurgan. Your Dublin/ Belfast ticket covers you for travel between Portadown and Lurgan. If you want to go straight home after seeing the museums you'll make the 16.00 hrs train from Lurgan which connects at Portadown with the Enterprise, at 16.30, to arrive at Connolly Station at 18.13 hrs. If you want to walk around the grounds with me we'll make the 17.30 train at Portadown, arr Connolly around 19.13 hrs.
As I'm booking lunch places in Brownlow and agreeing numbers with the owners please RSVP only if you're definitely coming.
Payments for the tour and meal can be made by debit card or Sterling on the day. Please do not offer payment in euros.
