Visit Wexford’s newest visitor attraction.

Tales of Gaelic kingship, Norman knights, power shifts and miracle working saints abound at the Medieval Ferns Experience.
The Experience tells the story of invasion and ambitious Gaelic kings in an informative and entertaining way.

Much has been made of the man said to be responsible for the ‘Norman Invasion’. Some say the 12th century King of Leinster, Diarmait MacMurrough was a tyrant and a traitor, others say he was a man of his time. The Medieval Ferns Experience is designed to be an interactive experience with a mix of audio visual, graphic panels, sensory and virtual reality. Come visit and you can make up your own mind!
