Radio presenter Tommy Marren will perform the official launch of the Clew Bay Garden Trail 2026 at the National Museum of Ireland, Turlough Park, Castlebar, at 11am, 23 May, 2026. 

The launch event will take place in the Courtyard Gallery (next to the café) and all are welcome to attend. 

The Clew Bay Garden Trail is an annual open garden initiative organised by a group of voluntary gardeners in the west Mayo area. 

It provides a wonderful opportunity each June and July for visitors and locals alike to explore a series of unique gardens, many of which are private gardens not usually open to the public.

Visitors get to see and learn about the different gardens and the gardeners have the opportunity to share their work and methods with fellow enthusiasts.

Gardeners and members of the public are welcome to come along to the official launch of this year's Clew Bay Garden Trail. 

The event will include some light refreshments. 

This is a free event starting at 11am on Saturday, 23 May 2026. No booking required.
