Place: KILLRUDDERY YARD

What to Expect

This curated exhibition explores how nature is constantly in flux. Set within the 19th‑century Killruddery Yard – a former farmyard now home to our Garden‑to‑Plate cafe and farm shop – it invites visitors to see the estate’s woodlands, gardens, botanicals and wildlife anew. The title comes from Seamus Heaney’s poem Lightenings, and curator Niamh Mac Gowan uses this idea of “shifting brilliancies” to frame works that capture changes in light, season and mood. Niamh is an interiors consultant and practicing artist who specialises in creating atmospheric spaces informed by nature; for this show she brings together printmakers and painters whose pieces range from botanical studies to expressive landscapes and beyond.

Artists: The exhibition features Yoko Akino, Jean Bardon, Leah Beggs, Carmel Benson, Lynda Bremner, Róisín Coyle, Gráinne Cuffe, Cliona Doyle, Niamh Flanagan, Clare Henderson, Louise Leonard, Niamh Mac Gowan, Niall Naessens, Caroline Patten, Robert Russell
and Brien Vahey. Though varied in medium and style, their works complement one another. Niamh has intentionally selected smaller, accessible pieces to encourage visitors to imagine owning fine art.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

Join us for one of Killruddery’s most loved seasonal traditions — our Christmas Wreath Making Workshop, led by Killruddery Cut Flowers founder Fionnuala Brabazon and florist Hanka Miziova.

Working with freshly gathered greenery and natural materials from our gardens + woodland, you’ll create your own beautiful festive wreath to take home — a piece that celebrates the textures, colours, and scents of a Killruddery Christmas. Weather permitting, we will enjoy a walk in the otherwise closed for season Winter gardens as part of the workshop.

The atmosphere is relaxed and joyful, with tea, coffee, mince pies, and mulled wine flowing throughout the session and there is the added opportunity for you to make a day of it by booking lunch in The Grain Store, where our seasonal menus celebrate produce from the estate.

Whether you come alone or with friends, it’s a wonderful way to begin the Christmas season in good company and creative spirit.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll use traditional dye plants and flowers from the garden to create a naturally printed silk scarf.

The workshop has a calm pace, and you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind silk scarf and a new curiosity for the colours hidden in every flower you see.
