The lovely community of Riverstown, County Sligo, is home to Sligo Folk Park. This community-based attraction gives visitors a firsthand look into rural life and Irish history at the turn of the century. The Folk Park is located on the grounds of Millview House, which was erected in 1873 by George Reid, a farmer, shoemaker, and local church sexton, and has been lovingly restored. Take a stroll around the park and pay a visit to the excellent museum and evocative exhibition hall, which holds one of Ireland’s most impressive collections of rural history and agricultural items.
From their yearly Santatown to their Vintage & Heritage Day on the June Bank Holiday weekend, Sligo Folk Park has hosted a variety of events throughout the years. On the 6 acre property, they also have a number of new events for the small ones to enjoy. From their Easter Egg Hunt to their Summer in the Park to their Halloween Monster Bash and Picnic in the Park, they have something for everyone. Days out for the whole family.
Sligo Folk Park provides something for everyone, regardless of age or party size. Social distancing is simple with 12 distinct exhibitions and 6 acres of area.
