Due to ESB doing electricity work in the area Thoor Ballylee will be closed Monday Monday 4 July 2016. Unfortunately the tower cannot operate without electricity, and power will be cut to allow work on high-level wires. However the tower is open every day for all of the rest of the summer, complete with its new exhibitions and Yeats’s old winding stair.

Please accept our apologies for this day of closure. We hope to see you back at this historic building another time very soon.
