Temporary Closure of Athlone Castle Visitor Centre for Redevelopment Works
Athlone Castle Visitor Centre will close to the public from Sunday 19 October 2025, to allow for redevelopment works.

Works will include significant upgrades to ageing utilities and mechanical systems, a reconfiguration of visitor centre layout and interpretation, and enhancements to the courtyard, reception and retail areas. The anticipated reopening is Autumn 2026, although this date is subject to confirmation.
