Session Highlights
Fun and Educational
Primary School Programme
A visit to Rothe House & Garden is guaranteed to be both fun and educational. Children will have the opportunity to learn about the fascinating lives of the Rothe family and what life was like in 16th century Kilkenny as they are guided through the rooms, courtyards and garden. Hands on fun, dressing up in medieval costumes themselves and pretending they were the lords and ladies of the time. The programme is structured to enable children to ask questions and satisfy their curiosity as we know they come to interact, not just to sit
and listen!
