Walking Tour - Callan Park

Join the Friends of Callan Park for a historic walking tour of Callan Park - enjoy a hands-on look at life on Callan Park from its establishment as a wealthy private estate, to its poignant past as a psychiatric institution.

Along the way learn about the almost quarter-century community battle to save Callan Park from development and sale – as well as contemporary plans for its future.

Note: Kirkbride (and its foundations) are closed to the public. The ground is uneven and unsuitable for people with walking frames.

Registration is essential: https://www.trybooking.com/CAYLL

Entry Fee: $25 pp. Children under 12 are free.
