A very special and unique cultural and visitor experience will be revealed in Connemara National Park with the opening of the Connemara Pony Heritage Centre.
The unique new cultural and visitor experience will be revealed by Galway TD John Connolly at the opening on Friday afternoon.
For generations, the much-loved Connemara pony has been recognised as Ireland’s native breed.
This new and exclusive experience will pay tribute to the Connemara Pony’s valuable contribution to Ireland’s and Connemara’s heritage with the creation of “The Connemara Pony Heritage Centre”.
Free to visit, seven days per week and accessible for all, including wheelchair users, this exclusive new centre will celebrate the Connemara Pony, its unique equine personality and contribution to Irish life, heritage and pony lovers worldwide.
The centre will share the exceptional history, legacy, tradition and culture of the beautiful Connemara Pony in story, narration and visual exhibits.
The exhibits will combine both digital and traditional imagery and film, along with potential immersive learning for all age groups from young children to adults.
All of which will be combined with meeting the beautiful Connemara Pony.
