DCC Presents 'A bond which ties us to every stone'
Dublin City Council presents 'A bond which ties us to every stone' by Kate Mechedou (Mrs Bakers Medway Theatre Company) which is a specially commissioned theatrical experience for the Rose Festival 2022 and the St Anne's Park Community Archaeology project.
Join Arthur Edward Guinness and Olivia Hedges-White, Lady Ardilaun and their gardener, the charming Scot Mr Andrew Campbell for a tour in the walled garden in their suburban estate, Saint Anne's in Clontarf. Set in the year 1880 when Arthur was elevated to Baron Ardilaun of Ashford, when he opened a redesigned St Stephen's Green to the public and lost his parliamentary seat, and when he and Lady Ardilaun embarked on yet more improvements to their vast estate at Saint Anne's. Can they persuade Mr Campbell to move to Clontarf to help with these endeavours?
This event is supported with grant assistance from the Creative Ireland Programme and the Heritage Council's County Heritage Plan Grant Scheme.
Tours run on both Saturday 16ht & Sunday 17th July at the following times:
- 11 am

Tickets are €6 each and can be purchased on eventbrite.ie here.
