School pupils who visit us at Rothe House and Garden are guaranteed to have fun as well as learn.
Children will have the opportunity to learn about the fascinating Rothe family and life in Renaissance Kilkenny as they wander through the rooms, courtyards and gardens.
Pupils will get to dress up in costume themselves and feel what it was like to be ladies and gentlemen in Medieval and Renaissance Kilkenny.

The tour is structured to enable pupils to gather information and satisfy their curiosity as we know they come to interact, not just to sit and listen!
We can accommodate a maximum of 35 pupils per session. Each session will last 2-2.5 hours.
We provide stationery and other materials for completing worksheets – please click here to see an example of our primary school worksheet. Pupils and their teachers are welcome to enjoy their lunch in the garden after the tour (lunch is not provided).
Pre-booking is essential for school visits and need to be booked at least one month in advance. The cost is €2.50 per pupil. Please contact us at reception@rothehouse.com to inquire about availability.
