Ireland Working Party: The Wonderful Barn

Thursday 28 August (arrival evening) – Sunday 31 August 2025 (cleanup morning)
Join SPAB Ireland for a two-day working party at The Wonderful Barn, a unique 18th-century corkscrew tower located in Kildare. Volunteers will assist in landscape clearance, basic masonry tasks, and recording, helping to conserve and highlight this important heritage site.
This is an ideal opportunity for students, early-career professionals and enthusiasts interested in conservation, heritage skills, or Irish architectural history. Participants will come away with an understanding of heritage repair principles, traditional materials, and best practice site recording.
This event takes place during National Heritage Week and supports SPAB’s mission to promote the care and repair of historic buildings. Camping on site is available for all participants.
