A wonderful afternoon of friendship, memories and celebration at the 2026 Luncheon for Friends & Past Pupils of Kylemore Abbey at The Merrion Hotel in Dublin on September 25.
Hosted by the Benedictine Community, the event brought together friends, past pupils, and supporters to celebrate the many shared connections to Kylemore Abbey and hear the latest updates from around the estate.
The event marked the 25th anniversary of the restoration of the Victorian Walled Gardens at Kylemore Abbey, and funds raised will support the ongoing work of garden conservation.
A special thank you to our wonderful keynote speaker, Ruth Andrews, Chairperson of the Fáilte Ireland Board, and to everyone who attended and generously donated raffle prizes. There was plenty of fun and laughter throughout the afternoon!
Thank you to all who joined us for such a memorable celebration of the wider Kylemore community.
